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 π₯΄)βDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.

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 xDiagnosis confirmed Jan 2022 (age 46) after several years ignored/ misdiagnosed.
