My dad was doing alright relatively speaking for awhile. Symptom onset in Sept of 2019, diagnosed Dec 2020. Up until a few days ago he was walking (a little wobbly, cane for longer distances, mostly liquid diet split between peg and by mouth, and alert/able to speak pretty understandably.
Yesterday he started getting widespread intense muscle fasciculations but otherwise no change. Last night he fell (but went down slowly and did not hurt himself at all). Now today he cannot stand, can barely speak, and cant sit himself up. I know progression rate varies but that seems a lot really fast.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is it possible this added weakness is only temporary? Any other possible explanations?
