Hi Kari, yes I am from Puyallup, down town. Thank you for such a positive/caring reply, I am really struggling today, its weird cause I had a great day yesterday, I guess you cant figure out moods huh? They're up they're down. We are waiting to get into Virgina Mason, can you answer a few questions for me? First my husband Gary 53 yrs old has gone to 3 neurologists, the first one said he saw some minor back issues in the mri but nothing that is relating to his symptoms, he didn't say anything regarding als, we went for a second opinion because he still could not walk well, drop foot and loss of strength in his right leg, second dr ordered a conductivity test from 3rd dr, 3rd dr said he cant find anything wrong with nerves, it looks to him like als but going to send you up to V.M. for a second opinion so that is where we are at now, waiting.... so my question is do you think they will be able to diagnose him in one visit with information of 2 mri's of the back and 1 of the brain and the conductivity test or do you think this will take other tests and do you know what those tests are?
Thank you for listening.....
Shar
