    Patricia replied to the topic A cure and hope for ALS (also wanting to know about treating excess saliva) in the forum A​ ​Forum​ ​for​ ​ALS ​Caregivers​ 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    My neurologist prescribed Scopolamine patches. They were actually working but after using only 2 patches, my husband insisted that I no longer use them. They caused me to have psychotic behavior. I rambled all night long, thought that people were in my home that were not, and my personality was totally changed. My husband had to watch me all night…[Read more]

    Patricia started the topic Burning Sensations in the forum Living With ALS 1 year ago

    Does anyone else experience intense burning sensations? I have only recently started experiencing them. I contacted my neurologist and was prescribed Gabapentin. After reading all of the possible side effects, I decided not to take it. I’m taking extra strength Tylenol rapid release capsules instead, but it’s really not effective.

    Patricia replied to the topic Member Check In in the forum Living With ALS 1 year ago

    I am grateful that I have not lost the ability to communicate, walk or take care of my personal needs. I’m also thankful that I am able to continue driving at this time.  I thank God daily for things being as well as they are!

    Patricia replied to the topic What vital Question to ask Neuro on Friday?? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 4 months ago

    John, thanks for sharing this information. It gives me a little hope knowing that some ALS patients can continue to be mobile for 16 years. One of the biggest fears about this disease is the fear of the unknown!

    Patricia replied to the topic Questions for your medical team in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 9 months ago

    I was seeing a neurologist who could not diagnose my case and was referred to a large medical center in Texas.  It took three months to get an appointment with the neurologist there and it was a video visit. About three months later, I went for an EMG followed by another video visit.

    The doctor said, “You have ALS.  You need to get a port put i…[Read more]
