Hi Chris I'm Nell and i was just diagnosed in January from Springfield, IL and in the same boat as you with few friends and family and I worry about the future alot. First to reinforce the others, please wait until you actually diagnosed and if there is a ? or doctors aren't sure, get another opinion. Second every one will remind you constantly that you have to take it one day at a time and boy is that hard I tend to worry and trying to anticipate what will be or happen and you just can't do that. So hang there if you need an ear or a shoulder, please send me note or on facebook janelle dever I can't make it go away, but I can listen and we can compare questions and answers. Here is hoping that the dr's agree its not ALS - I will be thinking and praying for you Remembe God wouldn't you more that he thought you could handle. take care Nell
