I have another question.....
Is it normal for ALS patients to have severe stiffness after going for a car ride?
My father took my mother riding around the countryside a few days ago. The morning after riding for 1 1/2 hours (with breaks for her to walk around and stretch) she was practically unable to get out of bed. It took her 3 days before she could meander around with her cane without my father supporting her. He even had to lift her in and out of bed for a couple of those days. I am wondering if this is just part of the progression or is it a combo of arthritis and most likely ALS?
