Romolo Pallini

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

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

is expensive but works.

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

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,

ibudilast seems very effective for MS treatment.

cost is about 40K each injection + travel.

HI,

I leave no too far from Mass General, and was on and Ibudilast “official” trial for 1 year.

I took 10 pills each day, and undergo 3 Brain scanning to verify if Brain inflammation would decrease.

Results: inconclusive. not only for me but for most people on the trial. I got the full (verbal) report from my MGH doctor.

Good news I had no…[Read more]

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]
