I am 47, diagnosed 2 months ago. Symptoms are loss of fine motor control on my left side (loss of typing ability, limping) and tiredness. The only odd thing I have found in having myself checked out is very high levels of arsenic in my body (checked via a hair sample, not yet confirmed by blood tests). No head injuries, illnesses, etc.. John A. Maurer -----Original Message----- From: Edith S.
