Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but not to ALS. I was diagnosed in July of 1998 at age 33. I am still driving a car and walking very well. My hands, arms, shoulders and upper body have been most affected.
This fall, I became aware of a book called In Conversation with God by Francis Fernandez. This book has helped me tremendously and I highly recommend it. You may find it odd to hear me say this, but the book actually helped me embrace ALS as a cross to bear. What I've come to understand is this: you can either resent it, be angry, ask why me (I've visited all of the above and it's not helpful) or embrace it and identify yourself with our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Way.
