I have been sort of ticking along with what can only be termed as having ALS light. Foot drop on the left side in 2011, right side in 2014. Breathing was last tested at about 54% 6 months ago with some playing with increased bipap pressures of late. But all in all I still walk short distances, still drive. I use a power chair ocassionaly for longer walks but my upper limbs still do what they do. Over the past month or so from a size 52 jacket to a 48. I can't quantify weight, people with a 52 inch chest don't tend to own scales. Now, I know losing weight is bad, but is this something I need to make my clinic aware of? The last time i complained to a doctor about weird symptoms i wound up diagnosed with ALS.
