I have been doing a lot of research and reading since my moms diagnosis in October of 2010. I contacted our provincial ALS society and got in touch with a wonderful woman who was full of lots of information and suggestions. As we were talking she said that ALS diagnosis's come in "pockets of time", meaning its not heard of for a bit then all of a sudden there is a huge increase in people being diagnosed. She also stated that spring and fall seemed to be the time of year the disease reared its ugly head. I know since my moms diagnosis I have heard of friends of friends that have been diagnosised around the time or since my mom has. Anyone ever hear of this? Or notice any kinda pattern in peoples diagnosis? Just curious!
