This is some very fascinating research. While I'm not medically qualified to make this statement, I'll just throw it out there that this could be something to explore in unusual / atypical symptom presentations, especially in those younger than the average age for MNDs. Personally, I've been...

Apparently the link to this case study that I shared in my main thread got stripped out during moderation, so I'll try posting it here in a new thread. If you still can't access it, PM me and I'll send it to you. Early Respiratory Insufficiency in the ALS Patient Thanks, Luke
