Well sadly my husband got a difinitive ALS with bulbar onset diagnoses yesterday, this is how it all went........... he asked him a lot of questions, then checked his reflexes then said i would like to do another quick EMG to see what is happening and it was quick compared to the last one ( that lasted an hour and a half ) then he said we want you to start coming to the ALS clinic once a month where you will be connected to the right people ongoingly, so I asked him "so my husband has ALS and he said yes", I said would you write a letter stating so and he said yes, he said just contact my main nurse to let her know what needs to be in the letter ( we were his last patient visit for the day) and it is a friday :0( so that was that :0( My husband wanted to know how long he has and the docotor could not answer him I guess it differs from each person with ALS and that upset my husband the most as to him it has no time set :0((((
