What's up guys? today February 17, 2013 I got a boost of energy/confidence that I can run again so I went for it! I didn't look normal but I walked pretty far, pretty fast, for being off my forearm crutches. Come on guys, lets do this! this is the only thing I have let get the best of me. Lets not quit, look forward and do our best! We can do this!!

Well done you :-) That's the attitude.

Great attitude Anthony90. The way we deal with this makes a huge difference. keep up the positive attitude.

My husband played football until he was 39 even though he'd fall over a bit etc. He's 58 now and using crutches all the time and a wheelchair for long distances but I think not knowing what was wrong until just a few years ago meant he just carried on as normal-ish. He'd always presumed his problems were as a result of a bad fall where he'd hurt his back so didn't dwell too much on them. Maybe that's the secret.

Dang! He is lucky, symptoms at an older age progress slower. I began at 21...

Morning guys. Anthony-well done buddy! You should be proud of yourself and keep going! Aish, I fully agree, my symptoms manifested themselves a good few years before I was diagnosed and because I never fully knew what it was before I just carried on as normal whether I tripped or fell I just thought it was related to something else? I guess half of the battle is how you think about it. If I do trip or fall I tell myself "NO" and I keep on going trying harder. In reality i'm sure I would benefit from a walking device but I refuse to give in... Anyway Anthony, keep up the good work buddy, it's always good to hear of someone's progress! :-)
