Today I went to my first ALS meeting. There were three PALS and four CALS at the meeting. I mentioned that, when I first had pain in my legs (about 6 years ago), I got a massage chair and that helped me. One of the CALS stated that this could have triggered my ALS.
Is that true? Did I do something to trigger this horrible disease? My husband now feels I over did it in working in the yard, and that "triggered" this.
I've read online that they do not know what causes ALS. Has that changed?
I've only cried once since diagnosis, but I'm struggling with my emotions right now.
