PatientsLikeMe ™

In 2006 I moved from North Carolina back to Massachusetts. I was a CNA in North Carolina for 9 years too. I acquired a job in an office on Cape Cod in 2007, but recently had to give up my job because I could no longer speak on the phone and co-workers could not understand me all the time. I am now with a family doctor on the Cape and he has put me on Rilutek 50 mg and Elavil 50 mg which has helped with my saliva problem and helped with the ALS problem too I pray. I can now be understood at times, but I use an erase board too if I need to be understood. I try to stay positive, but it is hard.
