I was diagnosed with ALS Oct. 2008 - I was devastated - I thought my live was over. I have 3 beautiful grandchildren - 2 boys - age 18 months a 5 and a girl - 3 months, 3 beautiful kids - 2 girls age 23 & 25, a son 31 and a wonderful and loving husband. I got 3 opinions and all said ALS. The 1st neurologists told me I had 2-5 years but the neurologists from Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville said I could live as long as 15-20 years depending on how fast the progression is. So far my progression has been slow I think - but I plan on beating this thing with my family and God's help
