Age

[Allan still alive]

Hi, I was wondering how many young people there are on here? I'm 23. It would be interesting to see. I was diagnosed in 2011 and I am very highly progressed. All 4 limbs are useless. For laptop access I use the Smartnav + Dwell Clicker System.

I'm new to these forums. So hi

Hi Allan, and welcome, but I'm so sorry that you are ill. At 62 I don't think many folks would regard me as young person :-D, but I wanted to welcome you anyway. There are other young folks here though, and I'm sure you'll form many fond friendships.

I wish you much grace and peace.

Hi Allan, welcome. Perhaps not so many are as young as you but lots of young hearts here. Wishing you all the best

Young in mind is good. It's all about the mental age anyway.

Hi John. I'm coping ok I suppose. It is what it is. My attitude will never change my condition so I say screw it! What symptoms do you have if you don't mind me asking?

 

[JTorm]

Hey I was 21 when my girlfriend now wife noticed I had a slight limp .... I'm now 28. It took me over 4 years to get diagnosed. That was hardest time not knowing and filled with what ifs.
