Nancy replied to the topic Rilozole experience? in the forum A Forum for ALS Caregivers 1 year, 11 months ago
Instructions with my riluzole indicated taking it 2 hours after eating and/or 1 hour before. Does anyone have insight on if those time frames are necessary?

Nancy replied to the topic Information or results on RILUZOLE in the forum Research Topics 2 years ago
Regarding taking Riluzole or not: each of us will really never know if it is helping, if you start taking it and the presumed side effects are too difficult to deal with, you can stop taking it. My neurologist felt that not that many people experience the side effects. I am taking it and I feel more tired, but as Dagmar indicated this may be t…[Read more]

Nancy replied to the topic Are the clinics open? in the forum Coronavirus (COVID-19) and ALS 2 years, 3 months ago
My appointment was scheduled for March 18th. The Friday before that I received a reminder and I confirmed the appointment. 36 hours before the appointment I was told not to come. Luckily that occurred before we started the 10 hour drive. So far, no news on when it might be rescheduled. As it turned out, Salt Lake City had a major earthquake the…[Read more]

Nancy replied to the topic Happy Anniversary to our forum! in the forum Using our Forums 2 years, 3 months ago
Having been diagnosed with ALS less than a year ago, I had no idea the forum is only a year old! You are doing a great job keeping the members informed with pertinent information. I am sure I have learned much more about ALS over the past seven months than I would have without accessing this valuable site. Thank you!

I did not play contact sports, but starting in my 30s I did considerable running and racing in track and road races including training for and running several marathons. I think oxidative stress may play a role in why I now have ALS.

Nancy started the topic Multidisciplinary Clinics in the forum Living With ALS 2 years, 5 months ago
I was diagnosed with ALS about six months ago. It seems to be progressing slowly for now. Currently the closest multidisciplinary ALS clinic is a nine hour drive and the closest support group is two hours away, in good weather. Another potential complicating factor is that we live in an area of the country that experiences winter five months out…[Read more]
