Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with ALS on October 26, 2022. I have the C9orf72 genetic defect. My first symptom was an injured left hand (cycling accident) that never got better.
I live just north of Toronto in Canada. I’m taking Rilutek and Edovarone i.v.
More recently I have had balance and mobility problems and a bad fall. So now I am recovering from fractured (3) and broken (1) ribs.
What would I shout from the rooftops- if I could get up there? LOL
HAVE A BUCKET LIST? Don’t wait. Act now!
Hope you are all enjoying summer!
Michelle
