    ALSA Chapter Support Group?

    ALSA Chapter Support Group?

The only person with whom I had the opportunity to speak appeared to be unfamiliar with PLS, the MND for which I was seeking support group information. I am simply asking if anyone with PLS has...

    Hi Kim, Thanks for saying hello--you're my only "friend" who has any idea what this is like, so I'm grateful you took the time. May I ask about your dad's symptoms/how long he's been affected? Gypsy

    Introducing myself: Mom has PLS

    Hello everybody, My mom has recently received a preliminary diagnosis of PLS, but it's only been three years, and the neuros say they can't be sure it's not ALS until another year has passed. Mom's trouble began with a tingling in her toes on her left foot, and has progressed to the point where...
