Hey guys, my name is jayne! (not a girl haha)
I'm a 15 year old who was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, as well as ALS.

I look forward to spending time with all of you...
First I would like to say I am new. I hesitated asking questions here because I have been putting my time researching into other possible causes and so far they have all been ruled out. I know there are many people that ask questions here because they get a twitch one day and have no real...
