Advice & Tips: 4 weeks of normast+ashwaganda + stretching exercices Breathing : a little better. More and more, I can whisper , sometimes I can even say a few words aloud. It means that my diaphragm is getting stronger. Right arm and right thumb: a little stronger Left arm and legs: new connections ( beginning of new movements) So far it’s working. Will it last ? We’ll see…

Advice & Tips: Ten days of normast (tablets 600 mg x 2) Early May ALS had taken over: my breathing got worse, I needed my Bi-Pap almost 24h/24, I had no more appetite, my voice got weak, my speech was no longer understandable, excess saliva… Normast not only put a hold but I’ve been experiencing some improvements: Breathing: slightly better, I can breathe again 20’ without my Bi-Pap , I eat a little more. My voice is stronger, my speech is better Excess saliva: I’ve got a small window in the morning, and another one of around 2 hours in the afternoon during which my saliva is back to normal Arms: a little stronger I now hope that it’s only the beginning. We’ll see. I add some Indian ginseng believing the combination of the two will be more powerfull

Advice & Tips: legs seemed weaker, walking more unstable, more pain while sleeping. may be a coincidence, but not taking chances. 6/17: After just a few days off, I was much weaker, to the point of being afraid to stand for fear of falling. I believe the reason for the previous falls was just due to having more strength to walk and just being careless when moving. Since being back on it, I have had increased strength; standing from a sitting position is much easier. And my energy level has improved. I also added a second dose of Cymbalta before bed, which is helping with night time pain.
Cost: $50-99 monthly
