► G’day, I’m Peter Chambers!
In February 2020 I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. I’ve been working on some videos to help lend some advice to others experiencing MND / ALS or who are trying to work through adversity in general.
First symptoms late 2017 to early 2018 leading to spinal fusion operation in May 2018.
After the operation my shoulders lost muscle pretty quickly. I gradually regained some use in my left arm however my left hand was severely weakened and I have never regained any more than about 10% of movement in my right arm. I saw neurologists and at the end of 2019 they agreed the diagnosis was MND. I was diagnosed as Arm Flail version of MND where arms lose all muscle first and other muscles follow. I am devoting my time and energy to helping promote awareness of the disease and to be a voice of advocacy. Happy to chat and share my journey.
