Hello again all! I am finally back with an update on Dad. He went to neurology today for another EMG and they did an EEG as well. The docs did say whatever he has is nerve related, not muscular. Tommorow he is going for more blood work, and setting up times for further testing. They want to do a spinal tap, MRI and xrays. We knew we wouldn'tget any answers today, but I still can't shake that ALS may be the cause. One other thing, his syptoms have seemed to halt, with the exception of the weight loss (now at about 75 lbs) and extreme fatigue. It takes everything in him to eat 6-7 bites at dinner before he is to wore out to continue. He cannot dress himself, shave, has difficulty showering and feeding himself. His legs, breathing and swallowing seem to be unaffected so far. This is making me wonder if it is some kind of cancer (the doctors mentioned whatever he has is rare)... I don't know what to think. Has anyone heard of symptoms just stopping that have ALS? I know it affects everyone differently.
