Hi,
Just after some advice. My mum has had slurred speech and slight foot drop with weakness (she can't hop and her balance is a bit off) for nearly a year now. She has seen a neurologist who said they did not think it was ALS without offering much of a explanatory as to why, or what else it could be. Obviously we are all still extremely worried as just reading the symptom list it sounds like almost typical ALS. She has not deteriorated much if at all over the last 10 months and can still walk long distances and cycle on a exercise bike. I have always assumed ALS would progress faster than this but wanted to see if anyone had any information etc.
I appreciate that ultimately she will probably need to go back to the neurologist.
Much appreciated.
Michael
