Hi everyone. I am very new to all of this, so please bear with me. I am writing for my aunt who has a boyfriend who has ALS. She doesn't know anything about it, and she has no resources to find them. SO we were hoping you could help us out a little.
He was diagnosed a little over a year ago with ALS. They told him then, that he had approximatly 3-5 years left. Lately, he has been very sick. He has been dizzy, nausoues, vomiting a lot (yellowish green stuff) and he has lost his appetite. He drinks very heavily and smokes constantly, but even that has almost stopped. They are way north (SD) and his family is from Georgia. They moved to SD for work, but he has not been able to work for the past few weeks. I don't know exactly how to ask this but, she is wondering if she needs to get him home. She has no idea what to expect with ALS, does any of these symptoms have anything to do with ALS or is omething else going on? I am not trying to sound immpolite or anything like that, but my aunt is scared and she is not sure what to do. If someone could tell me if this is normal and for what stage that would be great. If needed, please e-mail me personally.
She loves him very much, we all do, and we just want what is best for him.
