Hi,
I'm new here, so I thought I should introduce myself. After going from doctor to doctor for over a year, my Dad was diagnosed with ALS at the end of Dec. 2107. (I would say his symptoms started in about July 2016.) From what I'm reading it seems to be limb onset, with the greatest affect on his arms, but he's also having more difficulty standing. (They just got a lift chair delivered this week. Yay!)
He and my Mom are about 45 minutes from me. Because there was discussion about the possibility of other diagnosis, we're at the beginning of physical preparations. I can already see that the information here will be invaluable. I will be recommending we get started on a PWC immediately.
Thank you all for all the time so many of you have invested here. After reading a couple of days, I feel much more informed to prepare for is future needs.
My love and prayers are with PALS and CALS alike. May god bless you all with peace and His presence.
