The first time I heard the word ALS it was when my father was diagnosed when he was 78 years old. Soon after his diagnosis, we figured out that the “nerve disease” that my aunt had died of was actually ALS. And just recently, I lost my niece from this horrific disease at just 40 years of age. This post is for you the caregiver and you the person LIVING with ALS.
