Just wondering if anyone else on here has more than one afflicted family member with ALS & FTD?
My mother's (68) neuropsych testing yesterday yielded some interesting results (all confounded with damage from "mini-stroke") and so much of it fits FTD to the T. She had a abnormal EMG in October but the neurologist won't diagnose ALS until he sees progression, but as I think back to her symptoms and their increase over the last 2 years I am sure this is the case.
My brother (50) is currently endstage and was diagnosed at 44 with PLS, later switched to ALS. We didn't notice FTD with him, but then again, we weren't really looking for it either.
