Good video Jerry i had symptoms for close to 20 years before I sought a diagnosis i would think im close to 30 years in ive been active the entire time but wether fas or slow we get there ive just about had enough and would welcome a terminal disease. Im 69 and genetics say I could live another 25 + years i hope not. Keep up the good work mate you do us a great service thank you and regards

So helpful.Am struggling to get MD's to see whole body, am going to deal as I am able. Neuro seemed disappointed haven't fallen again giving advice to just eat less when questioning how much protein. PCP said she will refer me to palliative now . trying to get help is way more stressful than the disease.

Jerry, this is a great video as are the others of yours I have viewed. You do a great service to the IBM community. Now excuse me for being picky. Dysphasia is difficulty in speaking. I think you mean Dysphagia, which is difficulty swallowing.

Deep down inside I know we can heal ourselves with the power of the mind but as a species we relied on technology to speed things up now I'm afraid it's too late for our species to evolve progressively anymore I'm not talking superhuman abilities I'm just saying maybe we could of licked our wounds too
