A disease similar to progressive supranuclear palsy?
My grandfather died three years from a disease that was similar to progressive supranuclear palsy. He was a construction worker for close to 50 years and retired finally when we was about 69. (sorry for adding that I just have a very intense feeling of pride for him) His symptoms started about a year after his retirement and was first diagnosed as Alzheimer’s. Then about a year after that they told us it was PSP, finally about a year before he died the neurologist told us it was a different disease because it only affected the one side of his body I believe was the reasoning behind the new diagnosis. The doctor told us that although it was similar to PSP it was a totally different disease none the less. I believe it also had to do with his nerves dying as well as parts of his brain. By the end he could barely move at all and was bedridden, his vocal skills were gone although he still was totally aware of his surrounding and the people he loved and knew, thank you for your time. ran out
