Wow! Over 400 hits! My faithful readers are.. well.. faithful!!

It occurs to me that some of you might be interested in learning more about ALS. So I submit the following as my recommended reading list:

(recommended by Dr North's office): National Institute of Health ALS fact sheet

(Handout from UCSF): ALS and Cognitive Changes: a guide for patients and families

(From WebMD): Dementia in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

So, the UCSF folks suggested a vitamin regimen including Vitamin E, C and beta carotene. Anybody ever seen the size of a Vitamin E capsule!?!? Now.. think about trying to swallow that when you choke on water. Yipes! An internet search today yielded powdered versions of E, C, beta carotene, his multivitamin AND glucosamine!! In fact, the C and glucosamine are in the same drink powder.. one less thing to take!! The other powders can be mixed with a bit of ice cream or applesauce for much easier consumption. Let's hear it for the web!!!

Going to my nephew Michael's wedding tomorrow. (That's the McLaughlin Michael, not to be confused with the Campagna Michael or even the Marziano Michael whose birthday is today!) Hopefully it will be a fun outing.

Have a nice weekend all.
