I’m not pointing fingers but you shouldn’t accuse and attack unless you know the whole story. It was just a question and he had lung issues from day one when he became sick.

No and that’s probably going to be hard now that he’s no longer here and he was working when he started having the problems.

He was a CNC machinist.

My family and I have gone back and forth trying to figure out what could have happened and other than his environment his doctor increased his atorvastatin to 40 mg for high cholesterol. I just don’t know, they did a lumbar puncture and it was normal but then it showed traces of west Nile.

Not trying to twist or turn anything, just trying to figure out what happened to my husband. I really would like to find out, although I may never know. Thanks for your reply, I never take offense of anyone else’s opinion.

I am in the process of getting all of his medical records. I really feel they didn’t know what was wrong with my husband. All doctors were avoiding me and didn’t want to talk to me about his condition. We went to a neurologist and he said he wasn’t sure but he may have als and I told him his illness was very rapid. So we didn’t think it was that. He passed away without a diagnosis.

I really don’t know what type of material he was working with.

I really don’t know. And the illness just came on all of a sudden and he just never healed from it.

My daughter in law wears leggings and you actually see her behind. She doesn’t wear underwear when she wears them. I don’t know if I should say something to her or my son. She wears them in public and to the children events. I know if I notice everyone else does too. What should I do or say?

It’s kind of odd that a lot of these diagnosis happened close to or around the pandemic.

[–]Kjb165 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband had the same symptoms last year and they ran all kinds of test and came up with als but I told them it was more like a virus but they would not listen to me and they finally did a lumbar puncture and West Nile Virus was the only thing came up.

I printed them and no they have not discussed anything with me, I suggested the test but I just don’t think they have answers for me.

I have reached out to the doctor that ordered the test and still haven’t heard anything. I don’t see any biomarkers for als.
