I wouldn’t wish ALS on anyone. You basically turn into nothing.

Turn into nothing on the OUTSIDE... but the part of you that MAKES you ...YOU.. doesn’t change until the very end.

My Mother passed away from ALS in March 2008. She went relatively quick, only 2.5 years. I know another guy that lingered for 9 years. His last working muscle that he controlled was one eyelid. He communicated with that one eyelid. He finally asked to be taken off of a breather and feeding tube.
