Pseudobulbar Syndrome
Talking to my officemate about all the handicapped people we service got me to thinking about pseudobulbar syndrome, which is what killed my mom. She died nine years ago next month. When I looked on the net a long time ago, I could not find any references to pseudobulbar syndrome, only to pseudobulbar palsy, but there are some now. I was surprised to read that this syndrome is considered a "benign" form of ALS--Lou Gehrig's Disease. I guess, all things considered, I am selfishly glad I had Mom as long as I did rather than lose her relatively quickly to ALS.
