Short Bio

I’m 70 years old though it’s diagnosed two years ago however I felt symptomatic in 2011. I had had cervical spine surgery and thought it was related to those surgeries at the time. I kept losing usage but my left arm and being left-handed that was a major obstacle for me and with time I lost the use of 95% of my right arm. It’s dramatically changed my life however I feel fortunate that I’m able to be on the medications I’m on. I’ve had a give up a lot of my passions flying general aviation aircraft cooking and hiking. It’s definitely been life adjustment for me and I’m still getting through the ups and downs of the disease.
