Hi, everyone I can’t wait too long. My last ALS visit in July the Dr.said I may only have a year left. Tomorrow I am going in for a feeding tube. I still can eat but my breathing has dropped. I am still mobile but my speech is bad. So if I can take AMX0035 to prolong my life that would be great. Bless y’all.

Thank you for that it was very enlightening and to think 2 young men in their 20’s with a small company could do this but big companies have not been able to over many, many years. That tells me it is not a money maker to them, which seems to be what drugs are all about.
Are there trials going on now for AMX35?
Again, thanks and I hope this will come out soon to everyone.

Last week I cheered “YAY!” ?That was quickly followed by a “BOO!” ?and then, all I could say was, “Oh well.” ?
Read about why, in my column for ALS News Today: Things to Do While Waiting for a Cure.
Our ALS “clocks” are still ticking all while we – – wait for a petition to be circulated and submitted – – wait for the FDA to decide to shorten the approval process – – wait one year during this “shortened” process – – then wait for AMX0035 to be available.
What do you think of the situation? Do you think other Rare Diseases have the same challenges getting a new treatment approved?

I had a blogger friend, who writes about my home town, put out an article to try and get more signatures for AMX0035 early approval:

Think the FDA is slow & bureaucratic? You’ve got it easy! Try EMA and UK regs.
I was ‘a very naughty boy’ and ordered TUDCA from Amazon. TUDCA and Sodium Phenylbutyrate combine in AMX0035. My consultant would not prescribe anything other than Riluzole, so stuff him! Several old friends (3 at last count) are medical consultants here in UK and know I have C9ALS, one of them supplied me with Metformin. Two of my sons’ friends are directors/ VPs of neuro-pharmas. Then my own rural doctor prescribed Metformin based on evidence I sent him, & he’s arranging kidney function blood test. So I’m running my own little clinical trial, checking muscle strength, aerobic capacity, blood glucose levels, etc. Helps that my youngest son is an endurance athlete and has all the measurement tools.
We have a phrase in the UK: medicine is a postcode lottery (zipcode for US). Seems it’s that and which country you live in with ALS.
