Great, thanks for the help! I think we will stick with the specialist. Even if he doesn't have ALS, he can benefit from some of the very same therapies that can at least make him more comfortable. I truly believe he has an MND. I don't care what they name it, just get him some level of relief.
So I have a family member (my father) who has been undergoing various evaluations over the years for deteriorating health. In the past my Dad has had throat cancer and was treated with radiation so many of the issues that he has had over the years since then, has been with swallowing and eating...
