Hello,
This is my first post. My husband has just been told that he probably has ALS. We're waiting to see if he gets better, after using the drug Humira. He, in March, became extremely short of breath upon the slightest exertion. After months of Dr. appointments, the neurologist found universal nerve degeneration. Our Rheumatologist really thinks that the Humira damaged him, however our neurologist said that there has not been a single reported case of Humira causing nerve degeneration. So now, we sit and wait. He has a multitude of symptoms, including extreme weakness, and shortness of breath, and some difficulty swallowing. I'm scared because ALS that presents with SOB can be soo bad. What can we expect?
