I have a strong familial link on my mothers side to ALS/MND where several people have passed away from the disease.
My Aunt(mothers sister) has recently passed away from Parkinsons (apparently)
However,I suspect that this was a misdiagnosis as the disease from start to finish only lasted 2 years and was very progressive..............not the usual for Parkinsons.
My uncle even comented that his wife reminded him of when my mother had ALS/MND.
I guess the medical profession dont always get it right when dealing with a somewhat rare disease and have missed the opportunity to conduct genetic testing.
It seems no one is being spared of this disease on my mothers side of the family
