I joined this site a few months ago, but have never actually posted anything. I'm not really sure how to go about this, but here goes...my husband (Charley) was diagnosed with ALS on 12/7/08. He has been going down hill quite rapidly since his diagnosis. His neurologist confirmed on Tuesday, April 28th that it appears that he has an aggressive form of ALS. He questioned Charley about a persistent cough or tickle in his throat. Has anyone on this site experienced this symptom? Is it an ALS symptom? We have noticed this weekend that he does have a little cough and what he describes as a tickle in his throat. We feel this could be a result of a recent upper respiratory infection...but we did not notice this until this weekend. Someone please get back to me on this symptom. I've been looking on the internet but there is just too much to sift through. Thanks so much for your help!
