Just wondering if there are others that have been stricken by extreme fatigue and weakness, but seen little wasting of muscle tissue. My husband was diagnosed June 2010. Two of his brothers have ALS and have wasted away, but kept leg strength for a long time. My hubby has been so tired and weak from the beginning. I see some wasting in his left arm and hand now, but it may be from lack of use as this is the arm/hand where his problems began. Now, his right humeral head (shoulder) is broken from a severe fall this week. He is on cpap, but not bipap. Jaw muscles tire easily and he has to "throw his voice" when talking. The more fatigued he gets, the more slurred he gets. It seems this awful disease affects everyone differently. Just wondering if there is someone out there that has seen the disease progress in this fashion.
