Uncle Bill

I need to remember to tell Dr. S about Uncle Bill, Mama's brother, because he died of Lou Gehrig's Disease. I know that's not what I have, but he still needs to know it. Mama was originally diagnosed with Parkinson's, which I did tell him, but that was later changed to Alzheimer's Disease. Trouble is, she never did have the tremors. Now that I've seen what a real Neurologist does in the way of diagnostic testing, I don't think that first diagnosis of Parkinson's was even valid for Mama. It may well be that I have the same thing she had. That remains to be seen, but it just may be that this is genetic.
