Hello,
My name is Floyd Parton. Tomorrow I go see my neurologist to review the results of all my medical tests. We have been talking all along and I already know what he will tell me. After I get the "official diagnosis", I will begin working on getting my 100 percent DAV paperwork in and start working on social security disability. I am 59 and never had any health issues prior to this. It all started in November 2011 with twitching in my thighs. By Feb 2012 the twitching/fasciculations were all over my body. I began seeing my neurologist in April and he is a wonderful doctor but the news he has for me was not what I wanted to hear. I already have weakness in my right leg and my right arm, but am still walking. I understand everyone has their own unique journey with ALS. I am beginning my journey........cheers.....fp
