my husbands 'cousin has had ALS for almost 10 yrs...she's completely immobile and can't really talk anymore, but she communicates with one of those eye activated computer setups...

this drug wouldn't be of much help to her...

Another ALS sufferer I knew had ALS for about 10 years, on breathing and feeding tubes. He finally got to where he could only blink one eye lash and finally wanted the family to pull the plug. I don’t blame him, but the family dealt with his situation for over 10 years.
