There has been some question as to whether Scott has ALS or didn’t the doctor in Hawaii say he didn’t have it??? Well, he was diagnosed in March with having ALS. ALS is a disease that you can’t just take a blood test and say definitively that someone has it or doesn’t have it. It is a matter of adding up symptoms and ruling out other things etc. If you look at it on paper it sure looks like it.
One thing I know is that things changed after his accident in 2009. Did the accident trigger the ALS? Did the injuries cause these symptoms? We have been trying to find this out. We found that the chiropractic helped with the choking issues and so far that is all that it really helped. Maybe some of his neck pain too? While we can’t sit back and only look at ALS because the doctors gave us that diagnosis we can’t ignore it either. We have to find a way to look at everything and move forward. It also seems like everyday there is some new piece of the puzzle handed to me and again we keep moving forward. Does he have ALS? the doctors at UC Davis think so, could it be something else? Others have been misdiagnosed so Who knows? They know so little about the disease can you really rule anything out? If you are confused, welcome to my world and hang on for the ride. Love to you all, hope this helps clear things up a bit.
