Hi All,
New to these forums but have been learning heaps for a good friend of mine (aged 60) who's recently being diagnosed with MND (Nov 07). However, she has been back to see the consultant (Feb 08) and he's said she's not got ALS as she shows no signs of bulbar palsy and her lung function tests are excellent.
Her symptoms so far have been loss of muscle tone in her hands, and severe leg cramps and fasciculations in her arms and legs. She first noticed symptoms 12 months ago (so has not progressed rapidly) and she is still active and independant.
Anyone know where I can find out more info on the other forms of MND (PLS and PMA) to find out which one she's likely to have? So she can know what to expect in terms of progression etc.
She's not due to see the consultant now till July.
Thanks in advance
