Susan replied to the topic Can Cannabis Help People with ALS? in the forum Research Topics 1 year, 9 months ago
I am having nausea. Which we thought was caused by medication but I have gone off everything that might cause nausea and still having it. I don’t know if it’s my anxiety
I thought maybe marijuana gummies might help with the nausea. But hate to think of getting diarrhea.
I think I have heard of chemotherapy patients using marijuana for nausea. Any ideas? -
Susan replied to the topic Are you getting a flu shot this year? in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 10 months ago
I have always gotten a flu shot. Hope to get a nurse to come give me one since getting around is so difficult. But she said won’t have till October. I usually just walked over to my local CVS. Got pneumonia and shingles at 65. Just got the new shingles at my Dr. but have to get 2nd one in October also. They come in twos.

I would put in a shower that you can roll a shower chair into it. No step ups or lips. Put in grab bars. I wish I had done this. Rolling shower chairs are the best.
