QUOTE FOR MONDAY:

“There is no treatment to reverse damage to motor neurons or cure ALS at this time. However, some treatments may slow progression of the disease, improve quality of life, and extend survival. New treatments have become available in the past several years, and researchers continue to explore diverse avenues to slow or stop progression of ALS.

Supportive health care is best provided by integrated, multi-disciplinary teams of professionals.  Doctors may use the medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support a treatment plan for ALS.”
