Hi
Just wondered how many in here with PLS suffer with their speech. I was diagnosed in 2000 with stiffness in my leg and weakness in my hands and falls, in 2003 my speech got bad, to the point that I mostly use pen and paper except on days when my speech is clearer, family understand me, but it can be very frustrating, because of so many broken bones from falls, I use a walking frame both inside and out, I have got a motorised wheelchair which I refuse to use, am very stubborn and use alternative therapy as well as a chiropractor, which all helps. Just wondered how I am progressing as don't know anyone here who has PLS, lots who have ALS.
