Hello,
My husband was diagnosed three years ago with PLS. However, I am not so sure it has remained PLS. He has progressed a lot this passed year. He has clonus right foot, and now left also. He has babinsky in right knee and now left knee is buckeling. His right had is so week he can hardly write and he can't even open a ziplock bag with that hand. He was admitted in the hospital last month with spasms so bad in his left groin area that two shots of morphine did very little for him. His gait is terrible and he said his legs feel like they weigh 50 pounds each. He now is experiencing a cough. He had a cold several months ago and the cough never left. He took cough meds and even pills to stop the cough and nothing works. Is a cough something that is just next? Would appreciate any comments. Also, Katie Couric has been telling everyone since Sunday night that she will be doing a piece on Lou Gehrigs Disease and a possible cure. It was supposed to be on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night news. Tonight she said tommorrow night. So what gives here? Thanks Gracie.
