Testimonal of PD

For a number of years I fell into the diagnostic category of "undefined motor neuron disease". When I received a diagnosis, the label I was given was Progressive Muscular Atrophy (PMA), which means that to date I have had no upper motor neuron involvement (spasticity and brisk reflexes). However, I still have a 50/50 chance of this thing turning into ALS. Depending on how you look at this, in some ways this was good news because the typical PMA progression is much slower than the ALS progression. Time will tell...
