Currently, my legs are affected and most recently there’s been some slight slowness in my speech but I still walk with the assistance of a rollator and use my power wheelchair only for long distances and doctor visits. PLS is the slower version of ALS i’ll have the same symptoms but the progression of the disease will be slow.

Luckily for me, I am a Veteran and they take care of my needs. It is very scary having ALS. I find myself not caring about going on a trip or eating at a nice restaurant. I tell myself “Why bother?”. I get depressed a lot.
