Hi there,
I am new to these forums. I have been following all of you amazing people for a while. I am 35, visiting my second neuro in July, to hopefully rule out als (so I'll spare a long post about my symptoms and "atrophy" pictures.) In the meantime though, I've just been learning about it and thinking, often, of you all.
One of the questions I've had that I've never seen asked before - and it may seem like a silly question (I'm sorry if it is!) - is when does an ALS patient find they can no longer hum songs? Music seems to be so uplifting - listening to it but also being able to sing/hum along. I just wonder when you all have found this to be too difficult? Was it after losing the ability to speak, or did it mostly coincide with that process?
Prayers for you all.
