- There is a medication, one medication, for ALS. Rilutek slows down the progression by decreasing amounts of glutamate in the body. Excess levels of Glutamate are a supposed cause for ALS.
- Other Medications can relieve symptoms of ALS including:
- Muscle cramps & spasms
- Spasticity
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Excessive Salivation
- Excessive Phlegm
- Pain
- Depression
- Sleep Problems
- Uncontrollable bursts of crying and laughing
- There have been many advances in respiratory treatment now that increase the morbidity of patients diagnosed with ALS. In the past, patients with ALS have had a hard time surviving for long, due to the weakening of their chest muscles, that make it hard for them to breath as time goes on. In fact, the cause of death in patient's with ALS is usually due to a respiratory problem. Now that ventilation, drugs, and treatment have improved, patients can survive for even longer and live better, more comfortable lifestyles, until their time comes.
- There have also been significant improvements in nutritional care. Very aggressive nutritional supplementation and feeding tubes are used to help patients overcome deficiencies, due to their inability to swallow, chew and eat their food.
All of these treatments do not cure ALS, but they do increase the quality of life for patients living with the disease. I've included a video I found on Youtube of a Physician discussing tips for the treatment of ALS. What I like about this video is the holistic approach that the Physician decides to take with the treatment of ALS. Most physicians just concentrate on a few of the symptoms and the progression of the disease, but this Physician talks about the life of the patient as a whole, and how the disease affects them.
