If someone's oxygen level is high but someone is out of breath (and on a Bipap with bulbar ALS), and they seem to process things more slowly (poor concentration, hard time forming sentences), is this because of "cognitive changes" or can it just be from lack of oxygen. For those of you on a trache, did you notice improvement in concentration/thinking once you got on the trache?
Also, has anyone on here with bulbar (with quick progression) been able to speak on the trache (if you spoke before you got on the trache)?
