About msradcliffe
That is me drinking the Labatts Blue, a beer that tastes better somewhere around the 7th one you drink. The other guy is my snowmobile buddy Craig. I have 3 boys, 21, 18 & 16. They are my greatest concern. But they appear to be doing fine. I went through a good deal of depression early on but with the love & support of my girlfriend, family & friends (& some good meds) I've got my mind right. I am blessed in having a bunch of caregivers. ALS My sisters remember occasional spasms in my legs.

More About msradcliffe
I play and ref lacrosse and figured it was my legs protesting the hauling of my fat a$$ up and down fields. In 8/08 I was on the beach and noticed spasms in my hand between the thumb and forefinger. My Dr sent me to a neuro who ordered tests. When I went back to see him he said that he assumed I knew what I had. That worried me because I had not done any research and assumed something like a pinched nerve. Instead he said he thought ALS but was not sure. He referred me to Hopkins and 4 months later I was in Hopkins. Oh well life could be worse.
