I just recently went to my appointment at the Emory ALS Clinic and it went pretty well in terms of the baseline items that they monitor. I was told that I still fit the upper motor neuron PLS profile. However; I was told that things will, of course, continue to progress. Strength and Oxygen levels are still at excellent levels.
I do feel this disease creeping into new parts of my body...from my legs to my arms. My question is: does it make sense that while my strength is still 5/5 that my balance and ability to walk are diminishing? I guess that is why PLS is such a strange disease. I think that in my denial, I want to believe that as long as I am still strong, these recent several days where I feel so wobbly are simply due to lack of sleep and lack of exercise.
Any comments or insight appreciated...
