    My tip: When at ALS Clinic appointments always listen, bring along an open mind and a positive attitude. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions such as, “What do you suggest I do to maintain where I am right now?” and write down everything so you can follow up at home.

    Maryann, I’m curious… did you encounter any difficulty in having your health insurance pay for you to take all 3 Rs? ( riluzole, radicava and relyvrio)

    Thursday afternoon I received a text from the U of Miami team asking if I could be there on Friday. I responded, “Absolutely” and went home and packed an overnight bag. A little of the back story .. I have been participating in the Pre-fALS study since 2010ish. On December 2nd, they confirmed I had SOD1 ALS. At that time they expected QALSody…[Read more]

    Amanda started the topic ALS TRIVIA – – "ALS Association" – – Did you know? in the forum ALS Awareness Month 5 days, 16 hours ago

    Did you know that the ALS association is just 38 years old? It was created through a merger of the ALS Society of America and the National ALS Foundation and supports every state in the United States. Other countries also have chapters.

     

    What other organizations do you recommend to help pALS and their families?

    Mel,
    I think there should be a standard and protocol for diagnosis. I think if you have insurance, the insurance company would require specific requirements. I hope you have success and feel and improvements.
