My hubby was diagnosised Nov 20th ... He has progressed rapidly and consistant with no remission. Our ALS team at GF Strong indicates that the rate of progression will continue.
July 2008 we were at Disneyland having a wonderful time it was during that trip that we realised that something was really wrong. He ended up in the hospital in September (took that long to see a specialist) and Nov 20, 2008 he had his diagnosis. 7 months later he has a feeding tube and cannot speak hardly at all. He told me yesterday that he won't be walking much longer. His hands and arms have atrophied and his legs aren't strong enough to support his weight and he only weighs 130 lbs. Everyone we know is shocked at the rate of progression and we find it hard to catch our breath........ oh my husband is 42 years old.
