My uncle was recently diagnosed with ALS and in hindsight it seems there were signs from 5-7 years ago. Slurring speech (3 years ago) A noticeable change in mood (10 years ago), significant alcohol tolerance decrease (11 years ago), unusual stumbles, etc. He even swore there was something wrong with him years ago but passed his physical with no issues.
My question (s) are is there typically much less noticeable signs years prior to progression that are only realized in hindsight? If someone experiences this is it more likely to be a slower progression of als? Lastly, does als typically progress at a consistent pace (slow or fast)?
I realize everyone is different, but I’m interested if anyone else experienced something similar
