Hello everyone,
Out of desperation and hope I have arrived here. I have a 29 yr. old brother who was diagnosed with ALS just a few months ago. He was a division I football player, in great shape and had a career (financial consultant). It all started last year in June. He informed me that he felt strange. He had a major sinus infection later on. He could not shake this "odd" feeling. We love playing basketball together. He is awesome to put it bluntly on the court. I realized that there had to be something wronge when he could not even make a 4 foot shot. I mean he would shoot airballs! He started walking strange as well.
With his pride as veil, he would always tell me he had a bad cold or that it was the sinus infection. However, several months later he informed me that he was worried. It took several months, but then he was diagnosed with ALS. He is engaged and just moved out with his future wife. Now, he does not use his right hand much and he has difficulty walking. As an older brother, words cannot explain the pain that I am experiencing.
He needs support but he does not go out in get it. If any of you can lend some advice and/or guidance please do so. He is currently seeking help through alternative medicine.
God bless.
