About Me
I've been married to my bride since 1998-she is simply amazing. We have four children. I have been diagnosed with Primary Lateral Sclerosis, which is a slow moving, non-fatal Motor Neuron Disease affecting the Upper Motor Neurons only. Looking back ,we've found documentation of symptoms dating back to 1998, but nobody put things together until the symptoms hit pretty hard in the fall of 2007. My neurologist sent me to a specialist who suggested HSP (Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia) or PLS. Since then, I have received a dx of PLS and this has been confirmed by an ALS specialist.
