I ordered an ALS book and it arrived today. It’s been oddly comforting reading the information despite the lack of good news contained therein. Know a lot more what to expect. Still only halfway through though.
One thing is that ALS patients have to consciously swallow or risk choking on their own saliva. One treatment that is helpful is Botox injections into the saliva gland to reduce saliva production.
Yay for temporary paralysis.
