My dad was recently diagnosed with ALS a few mos ago. He began having CHRONIC HIVES in 2002 (& has had them everday ever since) - he was exposed to DIESEL FUMES the day he broke out. The muscle cramps started throughout his body about the same time.
He had a HEAT STROKE in 2001 in which he passed out & had to go to the ER. I have noticed that a lot of people w/ALS seem to be very ATHLETIC or have undergone an extreme physical regime. My dad was a "WORKAHOLIC" and he worked lots of overtime and then would come home and do additonal physical work on his farm. He also worked outside in the heat (no a/c in his work truck).
Recently my parents have been researching a theory regarding MERCURY FILLINGS possibly causing ALS. There are a few different websites that describe this theory, the Dr.s and Dentists that support it & their research.
My dad has 9 silver mercury fillings in his mouth & has an appointment to get all of them pulled out in a week.
Has anyone out there with ALS experienced any of these things leading up to their diagnosis?
ps-or is anyone else exploring other theories?
