You are correct Walter – – maybe the word I’m looking for is somewhere between Hospice and Palliative….leaning more towards a hospice mindset.

Hello Susan, I don’t use a suction device… but have some of the same issues. I have trouble speaking (very slow tongue) and I cannot swallow liquids (throat muscles too slow).
Some of the saliva/mucus accumulation is from not swallowing as often as we used to. It collects and collects. During the day, I remind myself to swallow more. I also…[Read more]

Dagmar replied to the topic muscle training in the forum Living With ALS 3 days, 20 hours ago
Martin, your doctor is correct that exercise will not have an effect on your ALS, although – – it has been shown in some recent studies, to help slow down the progression of ALS symptoms. Plus, exercise is needed for your unaffected muscle. The affected muscles will benefit from gentle, range of motion exercise. In addition, attention needs to be…[Read more]

Dagmar replied to the topic A fast way to win ALS not totally but … (part 2) in the forum Research Topics 4 days, 13 hours ago
I would be cautious with the information from the Healing ALS group. They are promoting “protocols” or lists of things to do to “reverse” your ALS….which is another way of saying “cure ALS.” Unfortunately, these are unproven, untested treatments, and based on anecdotal evidence.
