ALS/MND...the story and a unchartered journey!

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), other know as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a muscle and nerve disease. It strikes any point in your life. Sometimes symptoms come over time, others progress quickly. Some people it affects top half of your body, others the bottom. The top consists of hands, arms, speech, swallowing. The bottom consists of legs, your ability to stand, walk, balance. It's a real nasty disease that there is no cure or reason for. It's said it can affect men and women, (mostly men) in there mid life ages, give or take. Very few cases are inherited, each person is reflected differently of how it progresses. In most cases it is fatal, with a 2 to 4 year time frame. There are cases where people have lived past the four years, but few have gone past ten years.
