    Met a gorgeous man today

    Just a big hello to Onein300 - so lovely to meet you today. Was great to bump into someone from here and he instantly recognised me as TinyLady 🀣
    Diagnosis confirmed as atypical ALS Jan 2022 (age 46) after several years misdiagnosed.

    Symptoms began in left foot 2017. Now widespread. Powerchair user, useless left arm and clumsy right hand but generally positive!

    Of course - you're famous!
    Probably recognised you from all your press coverage
    Hi, I'm Eddie.
    Started with wobbly left ankle in Nov 2020. Diagnosed 22 Oct 2021, confirmed by 2nd opinion 4 days later.
    Full time powerchair user. Overnight NIV. PEG'ed but still eating. Voice banked but still talking.
    Still wondering what the future will bring.

      Started limping 2017, diagnosed August 2021. Wheelchair user and reduced shoulder and hand function. Trying to be positive 😺.

          Love the idea of my fan photos 🀣 especially just the feather boa one. I'll have to keep working on increasing my fan base. Maybe I can become an "influencer" 🀣

                Not sure I can endorse not needing an OT!! πŸ˜‰
                Mind you after some of the shocking stories I've read on here some would be better off without one!

                  Present company excluded 😁

                  I was thanking my OT last week, saying how much I appreciate her improving my situation and she teared up - when she composed herself, she said, "that's why I do it, thank you so much for saying that" (which set me off πŸ₯΄)

                        Onein300 - it was incredible. I learnt so much and came away exhausted but inspired. But so good to meet other people with MND. I don't do that enough!

                        Hope you got home safely and you weren't too exhausted x
