    Als?

    Ted, thanks She is actually one of the best neuro. She specializes and runs ALS clinics. She has not said he has ALS just that we still can't rule it out. However from what I read bulbar onset is the fastest progression of ALS. Yet my BF has had no other symptoms. So I would have thought if...
