Hello everyone

[Tina]

My name is Tina I'm new on here. My left foot started catching in October 2019 causing me to fall. I was diagnosed May 2021. I saw an MND professor a couple of months after for it to be confirmed. I have PMA progessive muscle atrophy. I have left foot drop and weak legs. Use walker indoors but need wheelchair with support when I go out. Wondering what the future holds but trying to staying positive. Its great to see I'm not on my own as it is a lonely disease. There are others out there with the same problems.
