I was a Paramedic/Firefighter until 10 years ago when at the same time i developed Muscular Dystrophy And PTS and Doctor after Doctor Diagnosed me as having Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) and telling me i would be dead within three years, Until i ran across a Neurologist who said i don't think we are looking at one disease not everything fits right,I think we have two diseases appearing at the same bad time and he sure was right!! and i have have gone through periods of paralysis the longest being my right arm and hand which lasted 5 years and currently it's playing ping pong in my legs but i lost my ability to walk 6 years ago and with my arms being the way they are i have had a power wheelchair for along time so it can play its little games anyway nice to see people here.
