Sorry you were unable to find your ALS/PLS meeting, perhaps you can contact them by phone and arrange to meet someone who knows the way and follow them. I am 40 y/o single mom of two boys. Ben is 14 and is 11. I was diagnosed last Sept. 2000 with PLS. Good luck to you. hello > My name is Maggie and I've just tonight found this list. > I think it almost prophetic that it was tonight.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Dear Maggie & Friends, All of us, my wife, my son & me are fine. The quake hit almost all towns near Baroda where we live. But Baroda itself was not hit! Ahmedabad which is affected, as you all would have seen in the News, is only 60 miles North of Baroda. On Friday morning at 8.40 we felt the floor shaking for just 10 seconds. Nothing else happened. Phone Electricity water all are in tact-not affected. But as a precaution I have been avoiding my computer room. That's why I didn't send any mail. Sorry for that. I have been sitting and sleeping near my main entrance door so in case of after shock I can 'RUSH!' out of my house. I stay on theground floor of my single storied house. Thanks to all for your concern. I will write in detail later. Jagan. hello Dear Jagun, I hope you are ok after the earthquake. My thoughts are with you and I've been very worried and concerned for you and your loved ones. I know that communications may be disrupted where you are and I pray that is all that is wrong. Love and best wishes, your friend with PLS maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 We all mourn for the many tragedies that the recent earthquakes have caused in your country. I was happy to hear that you and your family were spared harm. It is difficult for me to even visualize the horror of such a large set of quakes. My most severe experience was the Loma Prieta quake that occurred in my area over a decade ago. It was as nothing when compared to yours. My best to you, yours and your fellow countryman.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Hello, My name is Anne . I just joined the PLS Friends group and the News Group. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be in touch will people who have the same disease. I was diagnosed with PLS at the Mayo clinic in Oct of 1999. I had been having symptoms for about five years prior, however no one was able to give me a diagnosis. I live in Syracuse, N.Y with my husband and have three grown children and three grandchildren. The grandchildren ( ages 1,2,5) keep me going and bring me so much joy. They love ridding my scooter with me and we go everywhere we are able. Prior to being sick I worked for 33 years as a nurse in the perioperative area of our local hospitals. It was so hard to finally have to give in to the disease and quit work. My fatigue was so overwhelming and it became so difficut to walk. It is a pleasure reading the e-mail from everyone. I too, have many of the same problems and struggle for answers. Roy, I hope your surgery went well. I thought of you today. I will keep in touch.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Hi Anne: Welcome to the group. I too was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic in September of 1999. Sorry you have to have PLS, but you have come to the right place for friendship, information, and support. This is a good bunch of people. I am quite mildly affected as yet, with my 2 biggest problems being the fatigue, as you mentioned, and balance. I work part-time in an Oncology Unit of our Medical Center. Take care, stick around, and God bless. Laurel Hello Hello, My name is Anne . I just joined the PLS Friends group and the News Group.
