I'm very worried that it's ALS, but I don't want to tell my dad, and his primary physician has not had any diagnosis. My dad's going to see a neurologist in UCSF.
So it started about half a year ago, and my dad just felt tired, and had weakness in his wait, abdomen.
Then slowly, he started losing strength in both of his arms, more on the left. He's dropped about 30-40 lbs in the last half a year. There's also some muscle twitches here and there.
Although, I don't think he has much trouble in his legs, but he does get tired very fast. Everyday after work, he would come home and just sit on the couch, tired.
So his primary physician did a bunch of test and everything seems to be normal, except elevated CK levels.
Recently, he's starting to have shortness of breath as well. So I'm really worried...
I mean, what else can it be?
