hi im a new member
my dad may have the ALS and we are all anxious about that.
well,
2 years ago (even more), my dad had some trouble pronouncing some letters...later on he stopped speaking..in fact he cannot move his tongue...now, he doesn't speak at all and he has difficulties swallowing...He chocks a lot when hes drinking or eating...
2months ago he had some difficulties moving his left hand...now he cannot move his left fingers and this left hand seems to be paralyzed (when u touch it he can feel it but not moving it!)..
He can walk normally...but he seems tired and weak all the time...
im extremely afraid he has the ALS...
but i was wondering:
if he has this disease wouldn't all of his body be paralyzed by now?
what other disease may have the same symptoms as the ALS?
any advice? plz help
thank u
