I just started physical therapy sessions and I’m finding PT to be very helpful in keeping my movements a little more fluid. I do my exercises everyday at home and meet with the physical therapist weekly. If nothing else, it makes me feel better to know that I’m actually doing something positive for myself.

A co-worker who taught at the same school was diagnosed just before he retired. His goal had been to play piano in a lounge during his retirement. ALS never allowed that to happen. Forward about 15 years to 1 Sept 2022 and I heard those letters but this time they were directed to me not an acquaintance.
ALS wasn’t even on my radar:Â arthritis, carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, even stroke were all possibilities until I saw a neuromuscular specialist. I recognize I’m just beginning my journey but it’s been a horrible roller coaster ride. I’m thankful for supportive family and friends as well as compassionate doctors.

Thank you, Dagmar. I’ve been making progress and I’m really enjoying my PT sessions and the exercises. There’s so little I have control over with ALS that it’s nice to be able to do something that helps me.
