 About Me
I noticed difficulty speaking in March 2007. I thought it was stress. After a very relaxing and fun vacation to Ireland in June '07 I still had troubles speaking, in fact it was getting worse. After months of visits to various specialists and numerous tests I was diagnosed with bulbar onset ALS in Feb. of 2008.
