My dad was given the dual ALS/FTD diagnosis in Nov 2011. He has had hunched shoulders for the last couple years prior to his diagnosis however over the last two days he can barely hold his head up. He is bent over and his chin touches his chest. Is it usual for muscles to decline virtually over night? He has absolutely no concept of his illness so it is a challenge to help him. Is there anything to help him that we can talk to the clinic about if he is uncomfortable? Could he be in pain? He tells us he is fine and there is nothing wrong with him.
