Hi All,
I am 39 years old and have been diagnosed with ALS in January. Apparently the disease has started two years ago but it took ages for me to get diagnosed. I have weakness in my left arm and left leg and mild weakness in my right arm and leg.
I am able to walk but need to wear a splint due to left foot drop. I feel quite wobbly when i stand in one place. My speech is not affected. Breathing not sure as I am being told different things but I do not get breathless.
I understand everybody is affected differently but really not sure wether I should start planning things for the future now or wait and see.
Thanks you
