Short Bio

Hi, I was diagnosed 11/22 after a year of leg and arm weakness. Not genetic, nobody in my family has any neuro history. Worked as an RN. Now on Riluzole and Relyvrio  I do not feel it helps, getting weaker and have a powerchair ordered. I have no energy. Insurance denied Radicava since I  can not get up any steps…It is a daily struggle. I have friends helping me but have to look for a paid caregiver that can help me with daily chores. How does paid caregiving work? Will the insurance pay?
