Hy husband has been fighting ALS for years. Now his sister's husband may also have it. It started with weakness on his right side. He has been going through all the testing for other things that it could be. He started having flashes of light from his eyes about the same time that he noted the weakness. I had never heard of that with ALS. Have others experienced it?
Now the specialist feel they have ruled everything out other than something attacking the motor neurons from an outside source or an MND. ALS was mentioned quit a bit. They did a lot more blood work, started him on a list of vitamins and antioxidants and are scheduling a sleep study. He is supposed to go for final results in about 4 weeks. Does anyone know what the outside source could be that would attack motor neurons?
Thanks a bunch. Any help is appreciated.
