dear all... i was having a conversation with my friend tonight. i described how i felt mum seemed to have gotten worse since her diagnosis. my friend then raised the question about whether or not it is beneficial to know so much about the disease that will eventually kill you? i know a lot of people prefer not to know the next stage until absolutely necessary, but do you think ignorance is bliss, in a sense? it got me thinking about all the people in the past who had ALS, before it was given a name-tag. do you think they were better or worse off?
