    Eric Kentor replied to the topic “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” in the forum Living With ALS 2 months ago

    Thank you so much, Dagmar, for sharing the full text of Lou Gehrig’s speech and providing context for everyone. I have such admiration for Lou Gehrig, for his grace & dignity, much more so than all of his remarkable on the field accomplishments.

     

    I consider him to be the perfect name to be associated with our brutal disease, and believe he c…[Read more]

    Eric Kentor replied to the topic Modifying your Home in the forum Living With ALS 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    This is such a great conversation.  We recently completed an extensive remodel to our house, which focused on widening doorways, making bathrooms accessible (including roll in showers, grab bars, pocket doors to preserve space, roll under sinks, etc.).  For one of the smaller bathrooms, we installed a wall hung toilet and a wall hung sink with t…[Read more]

    Eric Kentor replied to the topic Sodium phenylbutyrate powder in the forum Living With ALS 9 months ago

    Several months ago, I was referred to a compounding mail order pharmacy in New Jersey.  The initial dose I was prescribed came to $1,050/month (though it may be a lower dose than your current one).  I did not follow up after the first prescription because I enrolled in the HEALEY trial instead.  The pharmacy is Hopewell, and I included below wh…[Read more]

    Eric Kentor replied to the topic Sodium phenylbutyrate powder in the forum Living With ALS 9 months ago

    It appears to me that you are getting it at a good price.  I had planned to start it several months ago, but then became eligible to enroll in the HEALEY clinical trial (Regimen D), so I set it aside.  I had purchased a one month supply for about $1,000.

    For anyone out there taking sodium phenylbutyrate + TUDCA, how have you responded to the c…[Read more]

    Eric Kentor replied to the topic Share your tips for dealing with embarassing "bathroom" topics in the forum Living With ALS 10 months ago

    I’ve had recurring/periodic issues with constipation since my diagnosis in March 2020, and it has become a priority for me to try to stay ahead of the issue.  It’s periodically a pretty severe issue for me, and I’ve eliminated bananas from my diet and reduced other foods that tend to constipate.  To stay on top of things, I take fiber s…[Read more]

    Eric Kentor replied to the topic Update us on the research and trials you are in!! in the forum Research Topics 11 months, 1 week ago

    I am a participant in the HEALEY Platform Trial: Regimen D (Pridopidine), which I enrolled in early July.  Of course, it’s hard to know if I am on placebo or active drug, but I’ve been experiencing some symptoms that may well be side effects of active drug.  Side effects have included some nausea, lightheadedness, and extreme dry mouth.  There is…[Read more]

    Hi Dagmar. Thanks for reaching out to welcome me, and thanks to you and Amanda for running the forum. I’ve been monitoring your forum for a couple of months (prior to registering myself). I was diagnosed in the spring, just as COVID was shutting things down. Appreciate your commentary and facilitating conversation for all of us.

    Eric Kentor replied to the topic Vaccine on the horizon in the forum Coronavirus (COVID-19) and ALS 1 year, 7 months ago

    I am definitely up for the vaccine ASAP.  I have been unable to get any reliable information as to whether ALS patients will have high priority for receiving the vaccine.  Is there any good information out there?  Thanks all.
