So I’ve been hypertensive for about 3 years, well controlled with antihypertensive drugs. Weirdly it seems like my ALS has cured my hypertension! For the last week my blood pressure has been on the low side even though I have not been taking my lisinopril. I would definitely NOT recommend ALS as a antihypertensive treatment.
Strangely I’ve also developed eczema on my face. Apparently it’s not common in ALS so I suspect it’s more diet related. Being obese is protective in ALS. As a consequence they want me to gain weight which means I’m eating all sorts of garbage I would never eat and don’t really have a taste for; butter, cheese, other high fat foods.
Now cold feet ARE something reported in ALS. My feet are often freezing even if it’s warm out. Strange.

I often have cold feet. maybe that’s because I have to eat salt with every meal so I don’t fall over when I stand up. Will

My bad MS foot is usually cold and the neurologist reminded me that temperature is neuro-regulated. It’s also a gorgeous blue/purple/blackish color. I find those fuzzy chenile socks really help (my mother-in-law called them “cozy socks”). look on amazon for unisex socks. Then sometimes my feet are really hot…I’d take the cold anyday.
