Hope you find some answers soon. . .debra

Mucus is only a problem in the later stages of ALS. I m certainly not in the later stages. It is a problem because the people can't swallow anymore. God that scared the crap out of me!

I ended up maxing out on anxiety meds because of that for the day. I don't think I have ALS. BTW twtiches with ALS are different. They are usaaly localized and don't stop. Swallowing problems are usually accompanied by speach problems also. Just and FYI
