My PALS was diagnosed in May with ALS and FTD. Our family I had just been trying to digest the news. We’ve known something was wrong since the beginning of last year. The FTD started first and he didn’t get any physical symptoms until around Christmas when he started choking on liquids every once in while.
PBA started in January, fasiculations in February, slurred speech in March. Still never even suspected ALS until about a week before we went to the neurologist, but I still didn’t really think it could be it because he didn’t have muscle weakness.
Now he has some atrophy and weakness mainly in his arms. His biggest areas of concern are choking, swallowing, and breathing.
Thanks for listening!
