We visited the neurologist today (follow up from the abnormal EMG).
Neurologist believes this is *NOT* ALS. (omg, I am so relieved!). He thinks that the gait/ balance issues are a result of damage to her spine b/c of compression & scar tissue. He said if there was damage in the cervical spine...
So I just learned tonight that my great-aunt had Pick's disease. Does anyone know anything about this (I guess it is a type of FTD?) and relation to ALS? I imagine the association is FTD with ALS, but I just wanted to scout out any info you might have as we see the neurologist tomorrow morning...
Hi Everyone, my name is Oen.
I'm here for the first time today, and found this site while looking for more information about ALS and dementia. I have already found much useful stuff here and what seems a warm and thoughtful group of humans. Thank you in advance for that.
