I was just diagnosed with ALS last month, but have been living with it for 4 to 5 years. This type I have is almost all UMN. My neurologist said LMN is barely perceptible. This was based on nerve conduction and EMG.
I've read that PLS is often misdiagnosed as ALS. Regardless, I am hoping that LMN involvement does not progress. ALS is more common than PLS, and often PLS progresses to ALS, but not always.
Anyway, I'm living with it so far, and I believe with new technology I can live with it a lot longer I hope.
I certainly don't have all the answers, but feel free to contact me here if you wish.
