Hi. This is my first time here. I'm doing research on ALS for a production of a new play. I'm particularly interested in the relationship between caretaker and patient. I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to share any of their experiences caring for someone with ALS - OR - if you're someone with ALS, your experience with a caregiver . . .
I have a few specific questions: 1) What are some specific Physical therapy exercises you do with an ALS patient? 2) Can you share any stories of how the relationship becomes more complicated or challenging in the final stages of life? How does the role of the caregiver change (if at all)? How does the patients outlook change? 3) Any other stories you want to share about caring for someone with ALS.
Thank you.
