I am hoping that some of you might help clear up my confusion regarding ALS symptoms because I am at my wit's end at what to do to help out my sister-in-law who seems to be in severe denial about the whole thing.
Following numerous tests, my sister-in-law was diagnosed as having ALS by experts in the field, but for the past 6 months has refused to accept the diagnostic. She says that the doctors are mistaken because, although her left leg is completely 'dead' and cold during the day when she is sitting up and draggng herself about, it warms up and becomes extremely hot when she gets herself to bed at night. Moreover, my sister-in-law claims that she cannot possibly have ALS because she feels pain in her ankle and tha the small toes of her left foot can now wiggle again after some therapy. Is she right? Could the experts be wrong?
