What do you suggest if my mom has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. (lou gehrigs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?research study: This is a very unfortunate situation, as ALS is a very bad disease without a cure. The drug Riluzole can slow the process, and some pts have added gabapentin and memantine to the mix. Have a doctor who is very experienced in neuromuscular disease, and perhaps get involved in a Medical School based research project, involving a newer agent.
