Default Newly diagnosed

Reside in St. Louis area.
Diagnosed a little over 2 weeks ago after seeing one medical specialist after another and had cervical fusion surgery scheduled.
At this time, I have left leg and arm weakness and loss of dexterity in left hand.
In hindsight, symptom probably began mid-July with mild left sided limp subsequent to a fall. A step increase in balance issues began around mid October. Mostly stable since then except that fasciculations began about 2 weeks ago.
I get around fairly well with a cane and can manage stairs so far. Ordered a stair lift.
Trying to wrap my mind around it so that I can plan and not focus on it all the time.

Smile Aubrey

Hello, my husband has ALS. His name is Aubrey. I think he has what is known as bulber ALS. His symptoms started with slurred speech and progressed to difficulty drinking/swallowing. He was diagnosed this past August, 2013.
