My husband had an appointment with his neurologist today...the same neurologist who told us on September 21st that he has ALS. We asked for documentation of this fact to give to the VA so we can get help with all the equipment he will need. Now suddenly he is saying it is "some kind" of Motor Neuron Disease but without a second opinion he can't be sure of ALS. We have been waiting on the VA for six months to arrange for that second opinion with their neurologist and continue to wait. Honestly, I feel like pulling every hair on my head out! He can barely get around with his walker any more and we just don't need these road blocks!
Have any of you run into this? How can a doctor tell you one thing one month and then something else the next? I'm at my wits end...and I still don't have my medication! I just don't know how much more of this either of us can take.
