Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 My name is Eller. I have only been in this group for about a week and you all have answered more questions for me than anyone has since I got diagnosed with PLS. I started having symptoms about 4or 5 years ago when I lived in NC but the doctors there said I was a mystery after they ran all the test (MRI's,cat scans,EMG's).they it would probably go away.One Doctor even told me if I quit smoking I would get better. When we moved to GA I didnt get any better I just kept getting slowly worse and my wife made me go see a doctor here.He told me I probably had PLS after I took more test and spent a whole lot more money,but the neurologist said I was fine.My doctor sent me to the Emory Clinic in Atlanta which is a MDA Funded Clinic.They have doctors there that specialize in PLS,MD,and ALS.They went over my test from NC and GA and told me I have PLS.I was so relieved and thankful to have a diagnoses that I didnt care what it was at first. I still am not sorry I have the disease,because I know GOD takes care of his own. Sorry to keep rambling on but its something I wanted to get off my chest. GOD bless you'all Eller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Good to hear from you . I think most of us can relate to the frustration of not knowing what is wrong with us. It took about four years before I finally got a diagnosis and while I wasn't happy to have an illness that gets progressively worst it was a relief to finally know what was wrong.
