Lou Gehrig

On July 27th 2010 I was diagnosed with ALS I will keep you posted on my progress...

Update Saturday August 14 2010.... The first signs of my ALS starter around 3 years ago. I started to notice some muscle twitching in my arms. At first I thought it was just something that would come and go. A year later I had my first EMG test at the VA hospital in Albquerque New Mexico. The results came back normal,at that point and the also took a blood test and it came back nornal also... A year later the twitching had become worse and so I had a seconf EMG. I had a total of 4 EMG test befor the gave me the news that I had ALS or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.. Well such is life and now the work begins!!!
