Hello,
After two years and a half of symptoms, my father has been diagnosed with PLS. We are still quite astonished and it is hard to stomach the truth. Given that the EMG was clean, the doctor thought that this was the most likely cause for my dad's symptoms. We are starting treatment next week.
My dad is still fine. He walks with a cane most of the time but he can walk and drive well, still very independent. I am coming to the forum with some questions about PLS -how reliable are these diagnosis? What can one expect regarding the evolution of the disease? Would it be possible for this disease to develop into ALS?
Thank you, everyone, for the information and support. It is great to have this resource, especially here in Spain where it takes too long time to meet with doctors and to have access to the necessary tests.
Thank you,
Emanol
