Hey everyone! I am new to the forums and I am glad I stumbled upon them in my research of ALS. My dad was diagnosed with ALS in January. He is at the point where he is not walking and barely talking. His uncle died of ALS as well. After genetic testing the doctors said it is just mere coincidence they both had it b/c it is not genetic. I have been trying to do as much research as possible (I just found out about it a week or so ago they kept it secret b/c my little brother was stationed in Afghanistan and didn't want to add stress to him) They won't tell me how long my great uncle survived the disease before passing on just that it was below average time. Is it normal for speech and mobility to go so quick in a patient? Any information would be of a great help.
