Hello, I was diag. with ALS last sept. I was initially told that my foot drop was due to a nerve being compressed. I had two surgerys several months apart for this repair. when things got worse, we did more research. We had my Dr. refer us to the ALS clinic in cleveland where I was diag. Since that time this disease has progressed very quickly. It's very hard to walk now. The atrophy to my leg has made me very unstable. It has moved into my arms now with weakness and pain {mainly at night}
I joined this site to see if I can help anyone with what they are going through. being a paramedic for the last 20 some years I have always helped people and I'm not going to stop now. I have a strong support group through my family and my wife is just wonderful. I have been preparing my children since the beggining of this disease. Some of these ways may help others prepare/deal with the process.
I'm here for everyone because I'm just taking one day at time.
enjoy every day.
