    Dave Williams replied to the topic Tips for adjusting to living with a PEG (feeding tube) in the forum Living With ALS 2 years, 1 month ago

    The swallow test did provide useful information. My speech therapist requested the rest for me and she could see where the food was getting stuck and offer some suggestions about how to clear the blockage.

    The process is easy and painless.

    Dave Williams replied to the topic Text to Talk Apps in the forum Living With ALS 2 years, 1 month ago

    I also use speech assistant with my Android phone and tablet. I think it’s the best because I have difficulty typing and I can use it with SKYPE and a stylus.

    The app developer is also very responsive to my requests.

    Dave Williams replied to the topic Breathing assist machine in the forum Mobility Aides, Assistive Technology and Medical Equipment 2 years, 10 months ago

    yes i requested to be included in the trial but did not meet the criteria. I was too old. If you want more information about m- stem cells this work was pioneered by a doctor currently in Panama and I think it’s the most promising stem cell research today.

    The results of the study are to be available sometime in 2020 and I for one, is very…[Read more]

    Dave Williams replied to the topic ALS and Veterans in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 3 years, 4 months ago

    My experience with the Milwaukee VA has been extraordinary. I was referred to the neurologist in October 2015. I thought I had a TIA because i was having problems speaking. The last thing i wanted was a needle nerve conduction test but that’s what I got. Along with a battery of other tests and the neurologist had an ominous expression on his face,…[Read more]

      @Dave, it sounds like the VA in Milwaukee has it together. It is so nice to hear something positive about the VA. Please continue to share you experience and anything you learn that may help other members.
