My Mom was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in March of 2011. I want to get the word out there that this disease is not as rare as you may think. The disease affects not only the person that has it, but so many others in their lives. This blog is my outlet, this is where I can go to rant, rave, cry, whine, and complain if i feel the need. This is me....
About me....
Hi, my name is Lindsey. I was born and raised in Louisiana. I moved to Michigan and met my husband in 2004. I have a beautiful daughter and I couldn't ask for more. About 2 years ago, my mother started having problems with her balance and walking. She has fallen on a few occasions luckily only getting a few bumps, bruises, and a black eye. She began going to the doctor listing every symptom she had as it progressed and no one could figure out what was wrong with her. Test after test, we got the same response... everything looks normal, but normal it was not. She finally found a neurologist that pointed her in the right direction... University of Louisville's Dr. Brown. Still test after test, poking, prodding. Everything looks normal. The symptoms got worse, whatever she had progressed. We needed answers. Then I got the email that would change my life forever....
