I have a question please. I just finished reading the Sticky Note for new members and now I am a bit confused about a couple of things. One thing in particular, is how it says in there that ALS is a "failing" not a "feeling" disease. As much as I understand what that means, it confuses me in that, it makes it sound like you just wake up one day and your hand won't work.....Not that you may have been having trouble with it for a bit.
There must be some kind of progression, or am I wrong? And if so, doesn't it make sense that one would feel it happening. Like the hand getting weaker and weaker, unable to button, tie, grip. What is happening with the muscle as it dies...doesn't the person feel something happening....
