Hi all, for a long time it was just my legs that were deteriorating. But last fall I starting slurring words. Now, of course, that's worse and declining so that probably in 6 months I won't be able to talk. And I'm coughing after I eat or at random. And my arms are starting to twitch in a devious way. I figure everything is going to go south at the same time. Breathing, eating, talking all together. I'm not going to get a peg so what use will bipap be if I can't eat. I'm not going to live all tubed up. I have utter respect for people who do, but I don't want to live with this stinking mess. I'm willing to try a bipap, but not if I can't eat. Anybody else in this pickle?
Thanks,
Carol
