Hello ALS family,
I posted this las night but for some reason it must not have gone through.
In any case I hope everyone is doing well?
I would like to ask a few questions:
1. Does the cold weather take a part in making certain symptons worse in ALS patients?
Dad walks worse in the cold especially when it is snowing or raining.....
Dad's voice also tends to be differernt on cold days... At some points I believe I hear it to be horse, a little slow, and or certain letters slurred....
My family thinks it is me looking for things and they don't see a difference.
2. Does stress/being nervous take a part in making certain symptons worse in ALS patients?
Dad walks worse when he is nervous/stressed and must hold onto someone if he is around a great deal of people cause then all of sudden he fears falling.
Dad also tends to slur a bit when people are around him that he is not comfortable with...
Any response to this or experience would be much appreciated to me and my dad...
I hope that each and everyone of you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving...
Love Jen :wink:
