New PLSer Diagnosised 10/99.

[Guest guest]

My name is Barry, 35 year old male. I live up here in the far North.

Actually Calgary, Alberta. I've been following along for the last two weeks.

Not sure if I'm Type 1 or 2 and not currently on any drugs except vitaims

A,C and E. Has onyone had success on Lecithin? I have also tried Creatine

10grams first 5 days and 5 grams for 5 days after. I had no noticable change

and my neurologist said if you don't see a change in the 10 day that I was

to stop using it. At the time I was drinking lots of coffee (10 cups /day)

and I'm not sure if the caffeine has something to do with it.

I started to stumble in the summer of 98. It took till the spring of 99 when

the tests started, 3 mri's and 2 emg's and what I believe to be a quick

diagnosis on October 1/99. I currently have a bad limp in my left leg and no

noticable difference in my right leg. It also seems that I have lost a small

amount of upper body strength. Sofar I consider myself lucky that it hasn't

progressed further.

I'm looking for answers, comments and support so any offered is greatly

appreciated.

Thanks

Barry
