Hello - I'm Dave and was diagnosed with ALS Aug. 20
1997 -- and yes I went thru all the difficult feelings (& anger)
that you mentioned -- and fought to live another month. The
Doctors gave me 18 months to live -- went for a 2nd opinion and
went thru the tests twice - and vowed never again.
Then left Traditional Med and entered the vast world of
Alternative Med --- mainly vitamins & therapy -- no prescriptions.
Now it is 12 years and 4 months later -- I'm not cured - but
still lead a fairly normal life -- have to use a cane to walk.
If you are interested - I have some good info that worked
for me.
Happy Holidays, dave

Hi Dave,
My fiancee was just diagnosed yesterday (1/4/10) with ALS. I would be interested in what non-traditional medicines you are taking. He is the love of my life and I cannot bear to think of my world without him in it.
Thanks so much for your time.
Patricia
