I AM MARRIED WITH FIVE GROWN CHILDREN.ACTIVE IN CHURCH,MUSICAL FAMILY. THIS ALL STARTED ABOUT MID 06 WITH A HOARSE THROAT THAT CONTINUED FOR A YEAR, THEN ABOUT MARCH 07 I WOKE UP WITH A LIMP IN MY RIGHT FOOT,IT CONTINUED UNTIL I COULD NOT LIFT MY TOES. IT THEN STARTED IN MY LEFT FOOT. THE THUMBS AND INDEX FINGERS LOST STRENGTH. I HAVE BRACES ON BOTH LEGS,HAVE FALLEN MANY TIMES, HAVE TO KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP AND LEARN TO LAUGH .
