Hello All!
My name is Denise. I am a wife and a stay-at-home Mom to two very energetic boys! :-)

Hi Joyce
Wow--you have no idea how much like me you sound. They never really found the causes of the blood pressure/heart rate issues for me. Other than the strange rhythms I'd have for no apparent reason.
I'm surprised the nitro (I take it, too, for angina) sends my blood pressure through...

What a nightmare you're going through. It's more than obvious that something major is going on. Are you eating and still losing weight or are you not eating? If you are eating--something isn't letting you absorb nutrients. With my daughter, her issue was her intestines--she absorbed nothing...

Let me begin by apologizing. My thoughts have a tendency to jump all over, making it difficult to follow my thought patterns. Please be patient with me.

I have fibromyalgia and have taken Lyrica. It did fix some pain for me, but the side effects were horrible! My feet were swollen, I would fall asleep sitting up without knowing it, and I gained a ton of weight. (about 6 lbs a month for a year, yep you can do the math!hahah) Now fibromyalgia...
Hi everyone.
I am new to the Forum and am wondering about whether extreme fatigue is normal in PALS. My husband was Dx in 9/08 (Bulbar Onset), and he has been on Rilutek ever since. His decline has been slow and steady...with increasing fatigue, muscle soreness, etc. However, beginning only a...

Hi everyone. You all have big hearts and I appreciate the time and help. I wrote in a different thread, under "husband," but this is a specific question; when the doctor asks if you feel fatigue at the end of the day, how on earth can you separate exhaustion because you're not sleeping at night...
