Hello,
My father was recently diagnoised with ALS. This situation is very heartbreaking for my mother and I. After researching the condition, I have only heard devestating things such as only living 3-5 years, ending up paralyzed...awful things..What I am looking for is encouragement. I am in college and being away from my parents has been hard. I am trying to do my best in school but all I can think about is my father's condition...I guess i'm asking for support, encouragement, and prayer. All ALS websites I have been on said that many people get to a certain point and do not get any worse and some say their condition has even been reversed...The worst part is not knowing...this disease is so rare and individualized it is hard to know how it is going to affect my father....I feel so helpless about this entire situation.
Also, my mother has recently put my father on an all natural diet, thinking this might help his ALS..has anyone else tried diets? Do they work? Does anyone have any other tips/tricks that might work?
God Bless.
