Default Terry

tell us your name Terry

where your from Virginia

when you were dx July 15, 2003
About a year before DX, my left hand began to weaken & the arm eventually began to atrophy - that's when I headed to the doctor, they always have bad news, that's why I never went except for emergencies prior to this

progression has been steady and unrelenting, I am now in a wheelchair with little to no leg strength, I can help in transfers a little.

what your doing - living on the side of a mountain doing my best to enjoy what I can

Default Thank you to the administrators and mediators of the site .

My name is Michael
I live in California with my wife and five children. Three of them still live at home , and are as helpful as teenage boys can be. I was diagnosed with both upper and lower motor neuron disease. I was a Master Mechanic, repairing and maintaining emergency standby generators, heavy equipment, police and fire emergency vehicles as well as medium and light duty cars and trucks. I specialized in electronics and fuel systems. For now I spend the majority of my day on the computer, either reading, writing or researching ALS, helping others cope with the disease and studying Bible theology.
Life is good
