> Another scenario. When I met my husband his Mother had shorness of breath and weakness . She saw a pdoc and he said the reason was anxiety and depression.

That's a terrible story, Phillipa, but I'd like to clarify something: was this a pdoc? Or did you mean she saw a doctor?

If this really was a pdoc, then I'm not surprised her condition was missed. A pdoc is going to look for the psychiatric issue underlying physical symptoms such as shortness of breath, right? Because that's what a pdoc will usually see.

If she saw a GP, it's still pretty egregious that he didn't run some tests, but you know what? ALS is not a common disease, and I'd bet a lot of doctors would miss it. It's unfortunate, but it's true.
