It has been one year and three months since my diagnosis and 2 1/2 years since my first symptom. Going through the diagnosis process and being told I have ALS, I was kind of prepping myself for it so it really wasn't a shock for me, also at the time the weakness was only my right arm. So looking back I kind of felt that it really wasn't affecting me, maybe it was denial
Fast-forward to today, very little use of my right arm, left arm weak, legs weak, I find myself breaking down more often (not frontal issues). I think I finally realized this disease is really affecting me in my ability to do things as well as seeing my two kids ages seven and four and what I'll miss out on.
Anybody else had similar experience. I thought being 43 would help in my flight.
