What Worked

• Cold hands and feet
  I found that alpha lipoic acid helps to alleviate cold hands and feet. I take 60 mg twice a day. Lobo, 6/15/02
• Cramping
  I found that taking three, 400 IU vitamin E tablets a day, as suggested by my doctor, eliminated cramping. Lobo, 6/15/02.
• Dexterity
  I believe that alpha lipoic acid helped improve dexterity in my weak right hand. I take 2, 60 mg tablets a day. Lobo, 6/15/02.
• Mental Health
  I believe that centering prayer has been a big help to me in eliminating the fear that I had after being diagnosed with ALS. Lobo, 6/15/02
  

What Didn't Work

• Treatments
  I tried IV glutathione treatments, 8 treatments starting at 600 mg and going to 1400 mg in steps of 200 mg. Although it appeared to improve my energy level the next day, it had no apparent effect on my symptoms. Lobo, 5/30/02.
