First, I want to apologize for the lateness of the reply and really thank you guys for being so kind to me. These past couple of months have been up and down. My husband did get his muscle biopsy done and the next day Michael hit us, bless him, it was miserable for him. He had a spinal tap that following Monday.
Spinal tap came back clear, no sign of any type of MS, which was what the Neurologist was hoping for. We received his muscle biopsy today and it was normal, no nerve damage what so ever. Neurologist is now going with the diagnosis of PLS and sending us to our state's ALS clinic for another opinion. As of now my husband's situation is declining. It's progressed rapidly into the other leg and he now drags the left....while shaking/jerking with the right. 20 years in the medical filed and he asked today to be put on light duty. He said it's like trying to walk through quicksand or weighted tied to his feet.
I just really wanted to show how much I appreciate you all listening to me and giving advice. You are very kind here and truly are making a difference. I've told my husband of the forum and I think he will post later on when he is more comfortable. I think we are just all in shock today.
