Shortly after Web was diagnosed, the RN from the ALS Association shared this with me and I wondered if any of you had heard something similar...
"Do you know what the Researchers call ALS informally? They call it the NICE GENE Disease. It is always the nicest people, the salt of the earth that get this disease. It is always the people that are the most loving, the most generous and the most patient. It is always the people that have taken such good care of their bodies, their minds, their hearts and their souls and have so much to offer! It never seems to strike the Pedophiles, the Drug Addicts or the scum of the earth. The Researchers actually think that there is a correlation, some DNA defect that creates and then predisposes NICE PEOPLE to this horrible disease." She went on to share that when someone comes into the clinic and are just horrible and mean, they know that the tests will be negative for ALS.
From my short time on this forum, I can see that there is definately truth to her comment. I can absolutely say without a shadow of doubt that Web fits her criteria. I wonder what the rest of you think about that statement? I hope that the Researchers will explore it and come up with a cure for all of our NICE PEOPLE!
