About Me
I'm 63 years old, married 29 years, and have a son 28 years old who is about to marry, and a 24 year old daughter. My ALS symptons started in 2007 with overall loss of strength, which I though was strange aging. So I started weight lifting which helped to offset that problem. Then I noticed a finger disfunction on my left hand which my doctor couldn't diagnose. Then my left thumb lost strength and muscle tissue, and this was diagnosed in 2008 as ALS.
