I had high hopes for a new treatment/therapy in year 2009, but all I witnessed was some exciting research. Regardless, the hopes are still high for 2010; let’s just wait and watch. At the beginning of this year I wasn’t sure how my disease will progress, will it be slow or fast, will it stop progressing or will it be something else. Well now I know, it’s still progressing and doctor says it’s on the slower side. At the start of the year I was able to walk and my right hand was getting weaker but still usable. Now at the end of the year I’m completely wheelchair bound, my right hand has lost all its function and left hand is in the same stage as right hand was at the beginning of this year. Even with all this I refuse to give up and my hopes for a treatment hasn’t dampened.
Since 2010 is just around the corner, I wish all my readers a very happy new year 2010.

Hi Nishant… Wish you a very happy New year. Hope this year brings some good news for you. I cannot imagine what you all must be going through… I saw a documentary on Stephan Heywood called So Much, So Fast last night. It helped me understand this disease a little more. Don’t know if you have read the book “His brother’s keeper” by Jonathan Weiner. It is based on Stephan’s life. I must say, seeing you smile, one cannot imagine all the thoughts that must be going through your head. I sincerely hope that there is a positive outcome to your situation. I wish you all the very best!
