Default Parkinson's and ALS
My husband, age 64, was diagnosed with Parkinson's one year ago. His father died of ALS almost 20 years ago at the age of 69 (he passed away 9 months after diagnosis). I know that my husband was experiencing many symptoms before he would go to the doctor, not the least of which was his left foot dragging. He didn't want to get a diagnosis of ALS which can have a similar first symptom. Has any correlation between the two diseases ever been made? His children and family would like to know.
