This blog follows my life since being diagnosed with terminal Motor Neurone Disease / ALS on 2nd July 2014 at the age of 36. A music addict, travel & photography enthusiast & gay, when diagnosed I was enjoying life in Sydney Australia. I returned to the UK in June 2015 to be closer to family, have access to further healthcare & support to help me battle this brutal disease. Expect posts about the condition, its progression and any issues as they arise.
What is MND/ALS?
What is MND/ALS?
MND/ALS is characterised by progressive degeneration of the motor nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The motor cells (neurones) control the muscles that enable us to move around, speak, breathe, and swallow. With no nerves to activate them, muscles gradually weaken and waste. Symptoms may include muscle weakness and paralysis, as well as impaired speaking, swallowing, and breathing. In most cases, it does not affect intellect, memory or the senses. Progress is relentless and generally rapid, with a life expectancy of between 2 and 5 years from the onset of symptoms. There is no known cause and there is no known cure.

My first symptoms of ALS/MND occurred in 2011 but were diagnosed in 2013. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue. I was given medications that helped, but only for a short period. In 2020, while researching ALS, I found a multivitamin herbal cure with so many great reviews, and without a doubt, I immediately ordered the formulas. I wasn’t sure if it was a permanent cure, but the result I received from my neurologist has shown that all my symptoms have been fully eliminated. I am back to my store. Since the 2020 pandemic, after using the herbs, my ALS recovery story has changed many people's lives who thought there was no true cure for MND. If you or someone you know have ALS or any MND disease and would like to see results like mine, contact the multivitamincare .org
