Hi,
Yesterday my husband and I went to Shands medical center, neurology department for second opion of ALS diagnosis. And yes, my husband has ALS and has probably had it for two and 1/2 years. The misdiagnosis was do to SCI (spinal cord injury). He has no use of his arms, a little movement in both hands, cannot walk, and could stand up till a little while ago. I now use a lift. All of these symptoms came on so gradually over the past years. I don't know what to expect next. The doctor said the disease is in charge as it spreads. I don't want to be a downer, I just like to know what I'm up against. Can you help?
