Hello all,
I have a friend named Mike who met with an accident 3 months ago. He had minor head injury and was temporarily paralyzed for 1 month. After a bed rest for 1 month he had great improvement in his health. Recently he has difficulty in lifting things. He is not even able to lift a pen sometimes. Also he used to say that he's feeling muscle weakness and difficulty in swallowing. I thought that these may be the effect of his accident. But recently I happened to read an article about ALS and I am worried whether he has ALS. He was really scared and worried when he was in bed rest and when he had improvement in his health, he was very happy and told me that he has understood the importance of life and he'll be careful from now on.
I haven't told him about this because I don't want to see him feeling bad again. How shall I know whether he as ALS?? Are these the symptoms of ALS?? Any suggestions??
