    Emotional lability and Nuedexta

    I recently returned from a trip to Minnesota to see family & friends. The thought of traveling alone was a bit scary, but I decided it would be fine. After two weeks there, my friend (who I met on this forum and who has PLS) dropped me off at the airport. After saying goodbye and getting...

    Any diagnosed have this much uncertainty at first?

    I am wondering if anyone has experienced symptoms developing along these lines, because my husband seems an enigma to the 3 neurologists who are passing him around. A year and a half ago, my husband's speech became notably slurred. I had noticed a tremor in his hand and occasional slurring a...

    Neudexta Side Effects

    I am really curious if any Neudexta users have had side effects, or difficulty adjusting to it. I started it two weeks ago and have been on two capsules a day for the last week. I have been having headaches, paranoia, and just can't seem motivated to get anything done. It kind of reminds me of...

    Stupid things people say to PALS

    I can come up with so many of these! Thought it might be a nice companion thread to Fun with ALS. My PALS was having too much trouble swallowing to manage more than 3 mouthfuls of mashed fruit and icecream that had melted in. So his mother turned and said - would you rather try a piece of...

    PBA- emotional lability

    Does anyone else with PLS have this? Mine is doing much better since starting effexor. I've only had a few instances, but I was able to get it under control quickly. Anyway, despite my husband being witness to it, I don't think he understood what was going on. But the other day I saw a...
