    Vicki replied to the topic Dressed with Success: Adaptive Clothing for Living with ALS in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 6 months ago

    I ended up with shoes from Ortho Feet and love them. The heel has an adjustable strap (great for AFOs) along with an adjustable strap over the instep. Check it out

    Hi Scotty,

    I agree that your BIL is very lucky to have you.  I was diagnosed in May and have am stuck in a power chair because my legs gave out, my arms are very painful (I suspect they’ll be gone soon) and my voice is almost gone.  Before I was diagnosed, my caregiver husband and I found this newsletter.  By the time I went for my final emg te…[Read more]

    Vicki replied to the topic Share your tips for dealing with embarassing "bathroom" topics in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 7 months ago

    My neurologist suggested I take Miralax (Polyethylene Glycol 3350 Powder) and it works well most days.  When I go two days without a visit to the bathroom, I take two stool softeners and usually have success.  I know drinking water helps but I sleep a lot and forget to hydrate.

    Vicki replied to the topic Complications with Riluzole and high levels of Vit C and other supplements in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 11 months ago

    My ALS doctor started me on Riluzole over a year ago and before he was positive I even had ALS. Now that I’ve been diagnosed, I still take it and I’ve never had a problem with it along with the supplements and Vitamin C.  I hope the doctor is able to assist your BIL.
