About Me
Hi, A retired Mechanical Designer. For 15 years until 2005 I worked for Panasonic including travel to Japan, China, Hong Kong and Europe. also used to be a keen sportsman playing several sports to a decent standard including semi-professional footballer. I continued to play football (soccer) until I was 48 years old. In 2000 I had some minor symtoms and in 2001 was unco-ordinated when trying to jog,which at the time I though was caused by back problems. When I developed faciculations I eventually went to the doctor and was diagnosed in Jan 2002. I take riluzole and 5000mg/day of vitamin E
