I have been a lifelong sufferer of Asthma, My dad has it his Dad had it and so do I. In March after about six weeks of cramps and soreness, I awoke at 3 AM and could not breathe. My wife took me to the ER and it was discovered that I had Bi-lateral Pulmonary Embolisms. These were unprovoked, no DVTs nothing, this is when the ALS symptoms started to present more clear and eventually I was diagnosed June 7th. My questions are. 1) Has anyone else had such an episode prior to the symptom’s that may have helped pronounce the symptoms, and 2) Moving forward how drastic will my asthma affect things(the asthma is controlled now), and what influence will it have on my longevity?
