Greetings to All,
I found this forum several days ago. I was diagnosed with ALS Sept 5 2013. I am very interested that no one has suggested that newly diagnosed folks should seek out ALS support groups. I have found them to be very useful. This is clearly not where I would like to be but, I have it and I am determined to keep living. I might add that I am 73 and have never had anything more serious than a common cold. I discovered my bio. father about a year ago at age 97 now 98 and have visited him. I figured that I would have a long life--wrong.
I would really like to be involved with programs that fund raise to fund more research. My cousin just finished a PhD in Mass. working on the cellular level of ALS, so I know that some research is being done but, there is a long way to go.
Best wishes to all who are affected by this bad boy.
