diagnose my husband please!

Just wanted to give you all an update -- we still don't know for sure what is going on, but the best guess is side effects of long term use of Lipitor.

I have heard that about lipitor. Made my husband decide to radically change his diet instead.

Win-Win

SO happy OP. Definitely make sure he gets the full workup - but that seems most reasonable.

Thanks. He did get the full work up, but they found nothing yet.

Diagnosis turned out to be: PLS

You don't suddenly wake up with slurred speech if you develop Parkinson's.

jeez

It takes years to reach that stage.

Just a guess.

That's what I was thinking, too

Oh sorry, I didn't know OP had posted back and this was an old thread. Sorry OP. How is he feeling?

Very slurred speech and a lot of difficulty swallowing. No problems yet walking or doing anything like that.

Take video of both the eating and slurred speech. The doctors might want to see it.
