    Jay replied to the topic Radicava? – – What advice, comments or tips do you have? in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 3 months ago

    Jay replied to the topic Exercise and ALS (Continued) in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 4 months ago

    I was diagnosed 4 months ago – Bulbar – 10 months since onset. My clinic’s support exercise but not to overdo. If you feel tired the next day , then that is a warning sign to slow down. I still work out as many muscle groups ( weight lifting) as possible with the thought to keep the muscles active and responsive.  Cannot tell if it is working but…[Read more]
