Well I was at college one day doing a speech when I suddenly couldn't complete the sentences without feeling short of breath, thought nothing much of it until a few weeks later when a friend of mine thought I sounded drunk at 10am. Went to the GP a week later who said I had tonsillitis, took the antibiotics he gave me with no change and my voice got gradually worse... About 4 months after my voice first started playing up I had some twitching begin in my left arm followed by weakness in my left hand, another week or 3 went by and I started coughing on beer and water (I was also crying at strange times as well which in hindsight started years before); I knew something was wrong but I was scared to find out. Finally I did an internet search and found Mnd, went straight to a neurologist and told her what I thought was wrong and sadly she agreed.. That's the basics of it (6 months in 10 lines!) and the rest is history.
