first of all thank you all for allowing us to ask you questions about a serious disease that has affected you. very appreciated
my questions, and i am very concerned:
a very close person, whose mother has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (at age 71,) is suffering from acute onset of generalized fasciculations (not constant), sensations of heavy legs and stiffness at some extremities as well as sensation of difficulties swallowing for two weeks . age: around 40ies
has had these symptoms 20 years ago, then it was ongoing for a year.
anyone of you experienced with ALS, are there similarities?
if you would ignore that episode 20 yrs ago, any probability of ALS ?
thanks a lot
