About Me
Hi, I am a 44 yr old Male, born England, but I am a US citizen now. I love to watch all sports and enjoy comedy movies. My wife is my main carer and I do not know what I would do if she was not in my life. I started to fall and trip in late 2003 , shortly after this my feet dropped and all the other symptoms we enjoy......started. More recently I have suffered with neck drop and left hand immobility. I am on Bi-pap 24/7 I enjoy being with my friends and family.they make me feel normal. good luck and best wishes to all Pals!!! In Aug 07 , I was diagnosed with PD aswell as ALS ,a rare thing
