I am wondering if any of you have started taking Lisinopril before their first ALS symptoms ?

I am asking because there were only 2 new things I can remember that happened before my ALS symptoms really flared up (though I probably had vague UMN symtoms many years before):

1. Flue shot, first time in my life

2. Started taking Lisinopril for High Blood Pressure - it was also first time in my adult life when I went on a permanent medication

BTW, as a child I was for 6 or 7 years on a sleep medication (don't remember which one) after I had a small head injury as a 4yo.
 
Ptich,

I have been on Lisinopril for about 11 years. I was diagnoseded with ALS this Sept, but my symptoms started in 06, with mostly UMN signs.
