I've been learning from you all since March 2015. It's time I got involved! Just call me Kat...
In April I attended my first local support group meeting and found it very informative. One of the next things I intend to do is get established at the local ALS Clinic in Tampa, Fl. I have been a Licensed Medical Massage Therapist since 2000 and I love being in service. Unfortunately being unable to communicate with clients required me to close my practice of 16 years.
Dec. 2014 was my first symptoms of slurring. Today I use an iPad mini with an AAC Flip Writer app to speak. I am still mobile but I have been experiencing weakness in my legs, over reactive reflexes in my legs & facilitation (twitching) in my back muscles at my spine. I have been labeled with PBA in February this year.
I also follow alternative medicine instead of traditional medicine, use organic formula with my feeding tube called "Liquid Hope" and still eat soups and blenderized foods by mouth. Ok, that's my intro.....
It's so nice to meet you all!
