Hi everyone. My dad was diagnosed March 2018 with ALS. He has limb onset. His breathing, swallowing and talking have not been affected as of yet. ... so we thought. Today he had a breathing test. His score is December 2018 was 92 and today it was in the low 60s. That seems like a drastic change for someone that hasn’t felt any breathing issues up until now. He did have a pulmonary embolism in December and is currently on blood thinners but I’m not sure that plays a role. He also usually does his tests at the clinic in the afternoon as he is not a morning person. He did the test just before ten today. I guess I am just trying to find reasons as to how it dropped so fast. Does this mean it will continue to drop at that rate? Thanks everyone
