Larry; I'm very, very sorry to hear this. In North America (as I'm sure you know but others may not) it's referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. I'm not gonna add anything since I know you've done some searching and all that stuff but if I may; I'd only like to add the following; for whatever it's worth.... "Professor Stephen Hawking is a well-known example of a person with MND, and has lived for more than 40 years with the disease."  |

Larry, I'm so sad to hear that you have a confirmed diagnosis. But as you said, at least now you know. Keeping you in my prayers and wishing for an easy/slow progression of this disease, maybe it can just stall in its tracks. Try to stay hopeful.

Oh, Larry, sorry to hear this news. As others have said I sure hope the disease will move slow. Hope you get your nourishment up. Seems COPD is enough for any of us to deal with. Sure don't need these other diseases.
I just got back online after a month with no computer to connect. You are such a good friend to have. You have helped me stay in the right direction more than once. I will be praying for you and all of your family who I know love you so much. Hope all these prayers will be of comfort for you and the disease moves slow.
Sending lots of love and hugs to you.
