Re: Abnormal Motor Neuron signs

[Guest guest]

That is how my neurologist explained it to me yesterday. Since the pattern

leading to lower motor neuron involvement was slow for me the course of the

ALS should be slow. I hope so!! She also said there is no weakening of the

breathing muscles in PLS.I have also had symptoms of PLS for 20 years and I

started these in my 20's.So eventually with an early onset pls can convert

to als? Thanks !

Donna,

Hope this one works for you.

: By putting the website on two lines, you can no longer

just click on it. It doesn't show up in blue/underlined. Also, part

of it was covered by an ad. Is there anything we can do to get these

ads off the message page?

No, we can't get the ads off. I originally put the link on one

line, but yahoo must have truncated it because it was too long??
