Hi,
My mom has been diagnosed with mnd last September but has had a rapid decline since then. Her speech is extremely slurred, she has lost the use of her right hand and arm and she is falling up to 6 times a day now. Her left arm and hand are very weak and her back is very hunched. We don't know how long she has had this disease but we are guessing approx 2 years when we think back to certain situations etc.. I know it is impossible to put a time limit on this awful disease but from other people's experiences how long from my mums current symptoms can we expect her to live?
Thanks for reading
