MemberAugust 6, 2022 at 10:30 am in reply to: Would you seek out Albrioza treatment?Hi, I had a ALS clinic visit this past Tuesday. The Doctor there sent a RX to a compound pharmacy in my area. The pharmacy called me an hour later asked if I wanted the liquid or capsule form for AMX0035. The down side is the cost $550 for the liquid. $650 for the capsules. I live in south west Florida. I hope this helps others where to look.

MemberSeptember 30, 2021 at 3:34 pm in reply to: Member Check In (pALS, caregivers, and other community members)I will start by saying Amanda your picture is so pretty. Yesterday was a good day for me. I received a check from ALS foundation to help with some improvements for me. I bought a chair that wasn’t supposed to come until February. It’s coming tomorrow. Ive been very uncomfortable so this will help a lot. I start Radicava next week. My insurance is paying for it. I feel like someone is looking out for me. I want to thank everyone here. I feel supported and more courageous.

I have an Apple Watch. It senses if you fall and puts the ball in motion. It signals 911 and your emergency contacts. You can wear the watch in the shower or tub.

MemberJuly 1, 2021 at 2:45 pm in reply to: What do you take to help with cramps and facilitations?I take CBD and THC combo. In a 5 to 1 ratio. 10 mg CBD 2 mg THC  I take it sublingual. I live in FL. So you can obtain this legally. First you go to an MD that can refer you to the state to apply for a card. In the past I had excruciating cramps that lasted several minutes. Now my cramps are much less intense. Last very short period and less frequent. It also helps my anxiety. Each individual has to try different doses but this is the best formula for me. I think you live in FL. Too Amanda so would not be hard for you to get. It’s all very professional.

In the past i got terrible craps everywhere. Lasting Avery long time lasting several minutes. I now take cannabis tincture. More CBD then THC. The cramps are less frequent,less painful and much shorter in duration.

I use the leg boots twice a day. Purchased them on Amazon. I use heating pad at night both are very helpful.

I stopped taking Riluzole due to extreme weakness. This led to depression thinking I was progressing very rapidly. When I stopped taking it the weakness was much less I now go for Radicava infusions. I have no side effects.
