VERY SAD NEWS in regards to the Drug dexpramipexole BIOGEN Trial for ALS patients, I was hoping as many others did that this drug could become Drug # 2 for ALS patient's, now we are back to just one drug RILUTEK which is usually given in the last months of life to help with breathing, so it is back to the drawing board with hopes still pinned on other Drug Trials.

I am an EX caregiver for my husband who had the "NO CURE" disease ALS aka Lou Gehrig's MND disease. I was not a nurse or medically educated, I was thrown into this role because of ALS & I had to learn fast. I am a writer of nothing's unless you care or want to know or be informed about ALS, HOWEVER I DON'T SUGAR COAT SUBJECT'S as ALS is far from sweet. There are also many informative Blogs and helpful links, self knowledge is power, Thank You for visiting.
