Hi all,
As many of you know, my husband was DX with limb onset ALS in 8/07, first symptoms appearing in spring of 05. For the last few days he has had some shortness of breath. I noticed it today when he walked upstairs, and my daughter says he had it yesterday just sitting at the computer. Could he be starting to have respiratory symptoms? Do the symptoms come and go? I'm concerned that it may be happening more often than he is letting on, so he won't worry me. His last FVC at clinic visit a month ago was 94% up from 89% since he got his cpap machine. Thanks for any input.
