Kevin,
Your symptoms seem very typical of PLS and not ALS. You are very fortunate! Although time will only tell, you seem classic PLS.
I'm not too familiar with clonus. Does clonus happen on it's own or only when you flex the foot or leg or hand in a certain way? When my mom was first diagnosed she showed clonus on her right foot but it was apparent only when the doctor flexed her foot. She has not seen anything happen on it's own so far.
As for babinski sign, what happens to the limb with this? What would it look like? I don't think my mom has this.
