I believe my mom had ALS, but they kept saying it was Parkinson's which is similar. She didn't shake though and her muscles deteriorated at such a rapid pace to the point that she couldn't walk or swallow. I always felt that they were misdiagnosing her, Parkinson's patient's muscles don't deteriorate that quickly. Then she got the lung cancer on top of it, but it was not being able to walk anymore that made her give up.
