[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1096555, member: 73664"] Sadly no cure, part of why the likes of Doddy Weir and Rob Burrows are campaigning so hard for it. This was taken off the NHS website. here's no cure for motor neurone disease, but treatment can help reduce the impact the symptoms have on your life. You'll be cared for by a team of specialists and a GP. Treatments include: [LIST] [*]highly specialised clinics, typically involving a specialist nurse and [URL='https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/occupational-therapy/']occupational therapy[/URL] to help make everyday tasks easier [*][URL='https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/physiotherapy/']physiotherapy[/URL] and exercises to maintain strength and reduce stiffness [*]advice from a speech and language therapist [*]advice from a dietitian about diet and eating [*]a medicine called riluzole that can slightly slow down the progression of the condition [*]medicines to relieve muscle stiffness and help with saliva problems [*]emotional support for you and your carer [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
