    My wife was diagnosed with A.L.S. in 2013. She fought. She fought hard. In 2020 - the day after Thanksgiving She went to heaven. As for me. I still fight. I pray for a cure. This beautiful lady has a wonderful smile and a warm hart. Much love to you both.

    I stopped most of my ALS medications due to severe side effects and I started on herbal treatments from Natural Herbs Centre ( natural herbs centre ), the treatment has made a very huge difference for me. My symptoms including body weakness and Swallowing difficulties disappeared after few months on the treatment. I am getting active again since starting this treatment. I no longer use a feeding tube

    You hear about this more, it does not attack, physically fit people specifically over someone else. They just notice it more, because they use your muscles more intense everyday and know what they are capable of, so it gets more attention than lets say a 60 year old man who is retired with no physical activity.

May the Peace of JESUS CHRIST be with you and your loved ones always.

    Wow what a selfish way of thinking. What if it were you with ALS would you want your spouse to walk out. ALS doesn't affect the mind and he obviously loves her and took his vows serious when they said for sickness and in health. It's scary to know that there are heartless people who think just abandon someone because of a illness
