New to PLS

[Guest guest]

I am a new member of this group. I live in Huntsville alabama and I

have been trying to get information and have not gotten much or I

guess what I am looking for. My doctor told me I had PLS November of

2003. I had the symptoms of my left leg giving out during a walk or

when I worked in the yard for more than an hour. My family doctor had

me take a MRI and said I had a bulge at L4 L5 and sent me to a

Neurologist. That was in 2001. I hope I am typeing ok as my left hand

goes out from time to time.

I work as an Instructor for a electronics manufacturing company and I

am able to do my job. It is harder to solder and show students what

to do so I use more pictures. I have to type a lot and find it harder

as the day goes on. I touch the walls at work when I walk and have

not fallen yet. I do use a cane if I have to walk any distance and

when I go shopping. when I work out side I work for about 20 minutes

than sit for 15. I do this until I am not ableto go on which is about

2 hours.

I am on 10 mg of Baclofen 3 times a day and was woundering if

vitamins would help. My wife has cancer so I try to keep my spirits

up but that is getting hard. My church has helped alot.

so if you can give me any info please do. My e mail is

dsweet3301@.... I guess I rambled for long enough. thanks for

reading this and any help you can give.
