Hi,
My mum has just been diagnosed with MND. She is 72 and has been having symptoms for about a year.
There are a couple of questions I'd like to ask...
The consultant says she doesn't present 'normally' She started having problems with her right leg and then her right arm began to go. He says normally it's the legs or the arms at first, not one of each. Can anyone tell me how MND normally starts?
She doesn't have any twitches. Her right arm does jump though with loud noises ie a ringing telephone.
Her leg muscle are very week and she is getting about the house on a zimmer frame now. Does all of this sound familiar to anybody? We are still hoping the diagnoisis wrong.
