Ok so all that worry and dad got so sick on Friday night that he never even went to the party... Coughing, chills, fever, vomiting, and everything else you can think of that night. Due to this his walk was so bad and he was so weak that his whole body was just not him. Is this normal can this be chalked up to ALS? What I mean is that the reg. cold or virus that dad had mixed with the fact that he has ALS is it normal to have felt so much weaker then usual? Will he bounce back again? He is doing better and better everyday but he really has not walked much since the virus. He stayed in all day on Saturday but when he went out yesterday and today he just drove Grandma around and stayed in the car he said between the cold weather and the fact that he is so stiff that he has pain in his right leg for about 5 min and then is so slow and stiff that he will wait until it is warmer to walk around. I am really worried. Does the cold weather really effect the limbs that much more? What can dad for this pain and what is the pain exactly. He says that it is after he sits for a long period of time, sleeps on it but if he is on his back it does not hurt.... What should he take for it?
