    Romolo Pallini replied to the topic Ibudilast (Ketas) in the forum Research Topics 3 years ago

    Hi,

    I did a long Ibudilast trial at Mass General.

    No issues , but did not see any real benefits.

    and scans to my brain did show no reduction of inflammation.

    trial was 9 months.

    i was on both riluzole and Neudexta.

    Hi Fatima,

    does your mother use Neudexta? It really helps my speech.

    is expensive, but on the Neudexta website you may find a coupon.

    is worth to try.

    all the best

    I have been there 4 times. Not sure I did see any results.

    they are very efficient and professional. Unfortunately in my case I can’t say I did help.

     

    still given we have no many other therapies available, we have to try all possible ones

    all the best

    Hi Ahmed,

    unfortunately I don’t have his contact info.

    sorry.

    for Neoronata-r where would you get the treatment done?

    in Korea is a different one, similar but not the same.

    all the best Romolo

    Romolo Pallini replied to the topic My experience with Nuedexta in the forum Living With ALS 3 years, 2 months ago

    I take Neudexta 2 a day. Helps speech and salivation. Seems to level emotions, thus allowing to talk without fear to not been understood.

    i stopped for one week to verify if was really Neudexta helping or a change in symptoms…..huge difference!

    is expensive but works.

    ps: at the Neudexta web site i was able to find a coupon that lowered…[Read more]

    the measurement was done by brain scans (3 in total), and no significant impact was noticeable.

    giVen that, I will wait for other trials , as once you join a trial, you are precluded to partecipade in others.

    Romolo Pallini replied to the topic Any information on availability of Ibudilast? in the forum Research Topics 3 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Mark,

    I did my trial at MGH too. Strange they start a new one, since mine was not successful.

    i will send a mail to my doctor , she was the lead on my trial, and ask more info.

    will let you know.

    imwas on Neudexta, and oral B12. I started radicava just ad the end the trial, as recommended by my dr. So I assume radicava is allowed.

    stay well

    Hi,

    for me Magnesium works.

    if I stop for few days taking magnesium supplement I Immediately notice a lot of twitches and some cramps.
    as soon as I resume the magnesium pills , they disappear, or get very mild.

    i use cvs chewable 400mg pils. 2 each day

    I am on Radicava since begin 2019  , and continue to take Riluzole. no side effects.

    hard to say if Radicava helps, progression (at the least the visible effects of ALS are not linear).

    I am an engineer, and if I can measure and correlate data, I can’t form a firm opinion.

    as a”feeling (again not data driven ) I believe it doesn’t do much. but…[Read more]
