Hi Bebee,
It is not my husband who has ALS, but me. Sorry I did not make that clear.
I was diagnosed in April of '04. Mine is bulbar ALS, so I lost my speech and swallowing first. I have a feeding tube, but am still able to eat shakes and puddings.
Since Christmas, my left hand is becoming weak and my shoulders and neck. I am still able to walk ok. My husband is my only caregiver so far, and he is wonderful to me. I do have good support from family and friends as well.
Your husband sounds to be doing well for having had ALS for 4 years. I hope this slow progression continues.
Hugs and prayers, Leah
