While surfing the net I came across the following website:
http://www.outcomes-umassmed.org/als/alsscale.cfm
It contains an easy do-it-yourself method for determining where you score on the ALS Functional Rating Scale (I'm somewhere between 43 and 44 out of 48 depending upon how I judge my ability to cut food). It also has a "predictor" of how you will progress. How valuable such a predictor is with such an unpredictable disease is debatable, but it is interesting nonetheless and I thiought I'd share it.
