Hi,
I was wondering if one of the symptoms of MND was rapid arm movements when startled by a noise eg a phone ringing. You end up spilling drinks, dropping food etc when it happens.
Late last year i was diognosed with PLS after a series of tests for different things.
Previously late in 2007 they thought i had Parkinsons.
I have had symptoms eg a weakining of my left side (arm and leg) for about 4 years now as well as this rapid arm movement when startled (both arms)
Currently i am still walking (authough very slow with the aid of a cane and for longer walks a walker.
The right side is beginning to show some signs of weakness and restricted movement as well now.
Balance is an issue on uneaven grouund.
Breathing and swallowing is currently fine.
I am asking this question because i am visiting the neo. at the end of the week (It is a 800 km round trip for me (500 miles ) )
and would like to know of any other possible causes of my condition as you all know you need to "cover all the bases" with these conditions when you can finally get in to see them.
cheers and thanks in anticipation to your answers (this is a great web site)
