I have had ALS for 23 years, i still am able to walk, talk and use my arms, although i am weak in all areas.
I take lots of vitamins, do tai chi and pray.
I wear a neck brace sometimes because i get tension headaches from my neck muscles being weak.
I am retired and 56 years old. Have 7 grandkids 10, 7, twins 7, one 21/2 years old, and a 1 year old, one 5 months old, have been using bipap 4 hours each day, and had my feeding tube put in on 9th of March 2010.
