i thought that i will never post thread like this, but life is unpredictable.
i have a child, girl born 02/17. at that time, i already had onset, but i wasnt aware of it. i'm diagnosed in 09/17. and i'm 50.
i think that my als started in spring/15.
my parents died (mother AD, 87yo, father cancer, 75yo). i do not have anyone with als in my family, but god knows... my parents had old parents, so they did, just like me and my daughters.
when i roll my life back, i remember that medium finger on my father's right hand just dropped. i know, it is not foot, but kind of denervation or something like that it was. he was 70yo at that time. nobody paid attention. didn't hurt, he wasn't complain... maybe it was start of something (als?), but he died of cancer.
q: is it possible that my younger daughter have fals? i mean, can als turn into fals?
as i said, noone remembers that anybody had als in family. this is not certain, cause nobody knew what als is, they lived in a village etc... is it possible that als can emerge from i.e. grandpa to just one grandson? it is unclear line of heritage. m-f-m?? if i have fals (inherited from my grandfather - noone alive saw him and noone knows how he died), is it possible that one my child has fals, the other one - has not?
