Life goes on...Be positive.

The human race is made up of two components, male and female. And Motor Neurone Disease does not take that statistic into consideration when she indiscriminately goes into action and injects herself into one or the other of us. Also the age factor has been affected in that it used to be people of 50 years and over coming down with ALS/MND. Now people in their late 20’s are beginning to show up in all parts of the world. And that is far too young to have a disease like ALS/MND. FAR TOO YOUNG.
Another interesting fact that is showing up is how many sports people are becoming infected with this condition. Why ? … I have never been a sports person but I also have never been a couch potato so how do we take that into consideration.
What does one have to do to become eligible to join our elite organization because once you are in there is only one way out and we all know what that is.
There are not enough people doing research into the causes of ALS/MND, at least in New Zealand and I think it will be many years before they find a cure, if at all.
But we all have to be positive in our collective believe that a cure will be found.

So life goes on and the world continues on its path through space and we, the human race struggle to come to grips with our aliments, diseases and wait for medical science to come to our aid.
And I like to think that being positive is probably one of the best actions that any of us can do. It certainly can’t do any harm. Make contact with other sufferers of ALS/MND through the internet and regardless of age or sex talk with each other about what you have and you will come to realize ( as I have ) that there are many souls out there just waiting for that contact. And if through talking ( via chat rooms or email ) you find someone in a like situation, then you will know that there are people suffering with this condition, who are willing to share their lives with you, and that you need not be alone .
When you look at it, via the internet, the world is very small and you soon realize that help, mental, physical and emotional is only a keystroke away and that someone, somewhere will be there for you.

You have Motor Neurone Disease ..the intricacies and complexity of what we have make the study of our condition really difficult in the long run. No two people are the same and because the break-down of muscle tissue varies so much in each individual that alone can either prolong or shorten ones life.
But, life goes on.. We have to concede that ALS/MND is here to stay and the reality of that situation, depending on your point of view, is that you are in for the duration, be it one month or two, one year or twenty. We are at the best of times a tenacious race of people but if anyone who has been diagnosed with ALS/MND can stand up (no pun intended ) and link up with other sufferers of this disease, then we are supporting each other, and it is that support, that positive altitude that will carry us through the difficult times ahead.
You have ALS/MND but with a positive attitude you can help
