Went in for an EMG this morning and afterwards the neurologist confirmed his original diagnosis of ALS. He gave me permission to have a videographer record the procedure and I interviewed him on camera afterwards. I'm a professional journalist - a former TV journalist - who now produces news videos for newspaper Internet web sites. I work for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group and am training photogs how to shoot and edit video. Anyway, I've been given the go ahead to produce a series of 5 minute first-person videos on ALS. I hope through my own story to raise awareness and perhaps raise funding. The editors suggested I turn out a video and a written column every month. As soon as the first one is online, I'll give you the web link. You'll probably need the latest version of Quicktime to see the video. I'll let you know.

ps And if anyone has ideas for segment topics, let me know. The first installment will probably just deal with getting diagnosed -- and maybe touch on the fact it's an orphan disease with little research funding. I'll also probably want to include links for people who want to donate.
pps Crummy disease! I feel I'm going down too fast.
