I am Peggy MacDonald

living with ALS

Virginia

I was very active and healthy until this.

I was diagnosed December 21, 2022. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I had an MRI and EMGs done to confirm the diagnosis.

I’m currently on two medications, Riluzole and Relyvrio and will start another medication this Friday.

Staying positive and not giving up, it’s not an option. I was very active and healthy until this. I am 65 years old.
