Motor Neurone Disease/ALS

Diagnosis

In this 'Speaking From Experience' video clip, participants discuss the events and emotions surrounding the diagnosis of MND. They recall the symptoms and signs they experienced that lead them to seek a medical opinion.

There is considerable variability between patients in respect of initial symptoms, rate and pattern of progression, and survival time after diagnosis. It is an uncommon, but by no means rare disorder.
