Hi ! I am new here and I wanted to know if my mom has ALS...
Here is the history:
My mom frequently woke up choking...some time passed and it never happens again. well, 1 year, I think, later, she starts to stumble in the streets with her left foot. later she started to limp too...she had like needles crossing her foot too and strange fasciculations on the leg. Times passed and she becomes worse. her left foot started to bend and the leg became very hard. the fasciculations and the other symptoms started, soon, on the other leg and foot and she couldn't get up from the sofa, for example, without help. Months later we had to buy her a wheelchair. then she began to feel fasciculations all over her body. Now she can't move the arms very well and she has another symptoms like: she cannot talk too much, she is hoarse and she becomes tired when speak. She also cannot breath properly, having deep breath constantly. She also choke for nothing. The doctors said nothing at all and the exams doesn't show anything! She cries too much and sometimes she laughs.
Please, tell me what is this...If you have the symptoms, etc.
Thank you so much and sorry for the long text.
