Stephen Hawking has ALS ... been ‘chaired’ for a lot longer than two years.
I know there are exceptions. I was speaking in general and the 3 people I knew well lasted 2 years.
There are several subtypes of ALS. Gehrig had the fast moving kind while Hawking’s type of ALS is a lot slower in progression. Many advances have been made in ALS research since Hawking was first diagnosed.
yes he has... als and many other diseases take their toll in various time frames. I have two friends where their fathers lived with als for about 10 years and another friend where her son was dead in about 3 months. I can say the same for lupus, some die very quickly and very young while others live full lives with the disease under control with occasional flare ups.
