I know there are variants to motor neuron diseases: for example, PLS (only upper motor neurons involved), PMA (only lower motor neurons involved) and ALS (both upper and lower motor neurons involved)
If you trully have ALS, do the upper and lower motor signs usually happen at the same time . . . are they present when you notice one of the signs or the other. That is, if you have weakness and atrophy (all lower motor signs) will you also have upper motor signs (brisk reflexes for example) when these symptoms show?
