Hello my name is Gracie, my husband has been diagnosed with PLS 4 1/2 years ago. He has dramatically progressed every year. Within the last 6 months his speech has been effected. He slurrs his speach, sometimes his tone is lower and I have noticed when he talks he seems to run out of breath. A friend asked me about Progressive
Bulbar Palsy. My question is: would that be associated with PLS or could he have changed to ALS or is PBP its own disease with no association with PLS or ALS. He has very poor balance, weakness and lost the fine motor movements in his hands. It all started in his legs with clonus, babinsky of the right knee and has moved upward and the left leg now shows the clonus etc. Pretty confusing stuff. Please let me know if anyone has any answers.
