Hi Friends. While I suffer from Primary Lateral SclerosisI DO attend local ALS meetings and have many friends with ALS that I support. I am on permanent medical retirement after 15 years as a family counselor. I am a 49 year old single Mom with 2 teenage daughters. I love photography, writing, and talking to people. UPDATE: Recently my neuro is concerned and said he won't rule out ALS due to the way my symptoms are going.
