I'm currently running two threads but on two different topics. Hope that's ok.
My husband is on a clinical trial of Pimozide and shortly after starting, he exhibited very worrying side effects. One of those SEs is slurring his words. I'm beginning to worry that it's not just a side effect but the travelling of the disease. Now, his is lower left leg onset that has spread to his right leg, with very little symptoms to date, and right forearm with no symptoms to date.
My question is, it couldn't spread to the bulbar region with how his disease has progressed, could it? Not this quickly, I mean. I know it will eventually, but I thought it would go to arms first.
He doesn't choke on anything, he just talks like he's completely wasted. He's been told by others at work to go home because his slurring is so bad. He's unable to fully participate in meetings because of it.
Thoughts?
Thanks everyone.
