I am a newbie from Australia

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!! My name is Maureen. I live in Sydney Australia. I

am about to turn 47. I dont know yet whether I have Hereditary

Spastic Paralegia (HSP) or PLS. Both disorders are very similiar. My

symptoms began 9 years ago very very slowly. I now use a cane and a

walker when i go outside the home. Just last month, my 4th

neurologist narrowed my problem down to either HSP or PLS.

I am so happy to have finally found a very active forum and I have

many many questions for you.

Talk to you again soon

Maureen Welcome

 

I've  been  on this group for a while but don't post as often as most. This

is a great group of supportive people with a lot of knowledge, I'm  sure

they will be able to answer many of your questions. I   have also  been   in

the position  of the  neuros  not  being   sure  if  I  have PLS or HSP   or

even ALS. In  my case   it seems to  be coming down  to PLS as I   have slow

progression but do have speech involvement - which  is rare with HSP. At 

least that's what I    understand.

 

I look forward to  hearing    more about  yourself. I   don't   think there

are  many  of  us  down    under  with PLS.

 

Best wishes

from Kiwiland.

Hi Maureen,

Welcome to our great group of friends. You will find many ansewers to questions,

and great support. I was just diagnosed with PLS last year after first being

diagnosed with M.S for around 7 years. They found that all my test results were

unconclusive of M.S. So here I am. I too was very happy to find this group. Ask

away at your questions and we will try to ansewer them for you.

Have a great day, Sandy in Oregon
