My 68 Year Old Female Friend Has Developed The Following
My 68 year old female friend has developed the following symptoms:
Slowed and somewhat slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness, balance issues...feels unstable on stairs, slowed movement, diminished coordination. Blood tests are normal. CT showed "nothing serious" she tells me. In the care of an Otolaryngologist. Will be seeing a Neurologist in January. We're worried it could be ALS.
