We never found anything that helped. My mother was in her 80's when she was struck with this disease and not diagnosed until a few years before her death this past December. So any medications she was given initially did nothing to relieve her symptoms. Physical therapy possibly helped prolong her ability to walk and get up and down out of a chair. Speech therapy possibly helped her speech and eating in the beginning. But in the end, all we could do was keep her comfortable.
