I have been reading these forums for a few months now, since my initial consultation with my general neurologist. I just came back from seeing a specialist at GW hospital, I was given the news I think I new was coming.
I am half in denial, the other half I was prepping myself for the inevitable. My next steps are to get hooked up with the ALS clinic on site there.
I have so many questions, don't know where to start. I have 2 young kids which really hurts.
Looking back my symptoms have been going on for 2 years. My right arm and shoulder have atrophied and have weakness, but I still have hand function. I can still brush my teeth, open things, etc. Fasiculations over the whole body, but only area affected at this point is right arm.
I guess I will be more of a visitor and contributor on this board as time goes on. I need a drink!
