Ive been to the Houston clinic twice, in October and two days ago. During that time, my breathing has deteriorated rapidly and they found denervation this last time in all my limbs and trunk. The first time in October I was told there was a small chance I might not have ALS, because they didnt see denervation everywhere, now there is no doubt.
I think my hospital stay with the peg tube fiasco really set me back.
Needless to say, I am quite upset.
The interesting thing is that the neuro there told me ALs does not have to be a death sentence-really?
I can now barely stand and hold my head up or use my left hand.
Additionally I have neuropothy so in addition to losing function I am losing feeling too.
