Hello All,
Had a question I was hoping someone would be able to answer for me.
Quick background :
My husband , 29, was officially diagnosed last year in August. Began the whole testing process the previous August.
My question : Does the rate of progression change through-out or does it stay the same ?
If I remember correctly and understood his doctor correctly she said that usually the rate you start at is how it will progress through-out the whole thing. From what she says he is progressing rather slowly (Thank God). He is still able to walk w/assistance of a walking, somewhat slurred speech (tends to get a little worse when anxious) but during a normal conversation very little slurring.
I'm just curious because the 1st year things seemed to go rather slowly, then for 3 months a lot of things happened quickly and now for the last 5 months I feel like things have pretty much stayed the same.
