Hello everyone. I finally received my official diagnosis on 11/2/2015, but have been 99% sure that I had ALS for many months now. The worst part has been telling my family - it feels like I am crushing all their hopes and dreams for me. My biggest concern is for my kids, especially the little ones. My boys are 13, 4, and 2 - I just turned 34 last month. I have been a stay at home mom since my 4 year old was born, but can no longer care for them like I used to. I feel so bad for them... We are planning a trip to Disneyland in January, so I am looking forward to that.
My first appt. at the ALS clinic is on 11/18. It seems like my ALS is progressing quickly, but I have nothing to compare it to. My symptoms started in May of this year, and now I can barely walk and use of my hands is pretty limited.
