My dad was diagnosed with ALS on February 15, 2007. He had had problems with his knees for years after a logging accident about 10 or 15 years ago and we assumed that was his problem. At the time that he was diagnosed, he was walking on crutches and had been doing so for about 3 years.
Since his diagnosis in February, his health has plummeted dramatically and he is in a wheelchair full time now. He is beginning to have trouble eating but is trying to stay away from the feeding tube as long as he can. He has trouble breathing but usually only if he gets hot. However, he does take two breathing treatments every day.
My question though is this . . . for the last 2 or 3 weeks he has been having tunnel vision, primarily in his right eye. Is this part of ALS? I have read tons of information and have never seen that mentioned. Can someone answer me and give me an idea whether this is normal, if anything dealing with ALS could ever be normal, or not? Thanks a bunch.
