    Veronika Wuyts replied to the topic Mental Health in the forum A​ ​Forum​ ​for​ ​ALS ​Caregivers​ 1 year, 3 months ago

    for the moment, the most challenging part is when my husband feels depressed and deeply distressed because of how his life is shortend (even if like all of ALS patients, there is no end date known) and all what he will be missing when he doesn’t want to go yet. I feel powerless and would so much try to get the most out of the time we still…[Read more]

    Veronika Wuyts replied to the topic What vital Question to ask Neuro on Friday?? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 1 year, 3 months ago

    I can relate very much to what you feel.

    – we always go with two to the apiontment, my husband, the patient, and me, his wife caretaker.

    – I note down most of what is said

    – we prepare our questions in advance

    we are also changing neurologists now because there is no match between the doctor and us. every visit is a source of stress and fear…[Read more]

    Veronika Wuyts replied to the topic Rilozole experience? in the forum A​ ​Forum​ ​for​ ​ALS ​Caregivers​ 1 year, 9 months ago

    after our last visit on Monday we decided to stop the medication all together. 1 pill is nu use according to the doctor. And if his quality of life diminishes already that much now taking it, when the symptoms are still kind of bearable, it is not worth it. every good moment is to be cherished.

    here in Belgium Covid is living its second wave. We just continue going to the neurologist and the physio sessions that are held in the hospital. Washing hands regularly and masked we just go for it.

    thanks so much Dagmar, I downloaded your article and will read it first. We went to the doctor yesterday for his second EMG since March. Indeed his arms got worse, rest is stable. She sees us moving more towards FOSMN than to pure ALS, for the moment. The genetic tests for ALS haven’t returned yet. So his porgnosis got a bit better. I didn’t find…[Read more]

    Veronika Wuyts replied to the topic muscle training in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 9 months ago

    my husband had a daily exercise program from his physiotherapist, thinking he had a viral shoulder problem. it turned out to be a MND. He started physio in the hospital twice a week and stopped the daily exercises, labeled as redundant. When I look back now, it seems that in these 6 weeks the speed of his loss of mussle power in his arms go…[Read more]

    we are diagnosed with a motorneurone disease, possibly ALS (new EMG on Monday). My husband started taking it early June, no problems the first weeks, then very tired and stomach upset and no hunger. And we thought depressed as well. So he stopped a couple of days, the depression seemed to go but only 2 or 3 days (he is still much in denial), he is…[Read more]
