Short Bio

Noticed first symptoms August 2022 following a 3-week bout of Covid. PT helped me regain my balance until January 2023 when Covid hit again and I needed a cane full time. PT helped again with stretches but didn’t correct my foot drop. In May I was diagnosed with ALS. In June I transitioned from cane to Rollator, and by the end of July was feeling weakness in my hands as well as my legs.  And my voice had become hoarse.

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had ALS?

Officially since May 2023. It probably began before the summer of 2022.
