Hello,
As I mention in my previous posts, my sister was recently diagnosed with ALS.
Initialy she was in denial; now she is very depressed and refuses to get any help.
Her initial onset was in her arm; over the last few weeks she started choking on water.
In addition she complaints of headaches and pain aroung her TMJ on one side, referring into her throat and tongue. No obvious speech problems that I can detect during our phone conversations (we are 300mi apart).
Could this TMJ like pain, pain in throat and headaches be related to ALS?
My sister is single and I'm so afraid that she is not taking care of herself.
