I am curious to know how fast can a person deteriorate...I'm scared (still unsure that I have this but evidence certainly points that way) its been 3 months and I'm still walking but feeling weak from walking for too long or if I'm up to often, can still grip things etc.
Just the thought of progressing to a later stage scares the shit out of me, I don't think I could cope and would possibly attempt suicide or ask to be "put down" nicely.
Are there any treatments or alternative treatments that I could start doing now that may prolong my life? I hear there's a drug that gives you an extra few months...but what about alternative medicine? Does the bone marrow stem cell therapy prolong life, the treatment in Israel ?
Thank u! By the way I am a 25yold female from Australia, gold coast is there anyone else here?
