Hello everyone!
I was diagnosed with ALS on Tuesday by my Neurologist. I was having trouble with my left leg for about a year and a half. Then with my left arm for about 6 months. Been seeing him since December. We did a EMG on December 23rd. Normal. Then he noticed atrophy in my left hand last week. He wanted to do another EMG. On June 4th, dirty. While he admitted he's not a expert in MND's, he was 99% sure it was ALS. I'm from Milwaukee so fortunately we have a great ALS clinic right here in town. I have a appointment there on July 16th. Hoping they find something else, but I feel he's right in his diagnoses. Obviously this was devastating news. But I'm not gonna let it win now. I'm going to live my life to the fullest! I'm 34 and have 3 children so I'm gonna spend all my time with them! I happy that I found this board so I can talk to people who have gone though some of the battles I'm about to! And to help those who may need it. So hello and I'm "happy" to be here
