Hello...
My husband is 43 yrs old. For the last 15 months or so, he has had this weird trouble swallowing...he said it feels like his food gets stuck. It happens when he drinks water, too, even just a sip. He will try to "swallow it down" and it ends up coming back up from his throat. And, the last few months his hand kind of "seizes up", cramps. Now, he seems to be losing his footing, he will stumble on a flat surface, miss steps, etc. He went to lean against the bannister in our house (this morning) and missed it, almost falling. He thinks his balance is off or soemthing. He doesn't have any colds, sinus issues now or anything, and hasn't had any inner ear issues. I don't know anything about ALS, really, and was wondering if these syptoms sound familar. He does work nights, cleaning machines that process hamburger. But, he sleeps about 7-8 1/2 hrs a day. Thank you for any help...
