Hello. I wrote on this forum once but i hope that you won't kill me that I'm back with it again... Soon after I wrote there about my story, I found the results of the ALS risk studies, and now almost everything is against my "calming down" :/ Sorry for my English, I'm Polish...
One again...
My great grandmother had a disease, that starts from leg paraplegia, then she became totally paralized and die at the age of 30... She was undiagnozed, because in Poland (i'm Polish) medical care in 1940. (that's when she died). Are there any other likely other ilness other than ALS that could manifest in that way? She was the only child.
I know that her parents weren't affected, but her father at the age of 52.
She had two daughters, one of them is my grandmother. She is know 79 and she is healthy. Also her sister is healthy (75 years old). My mother is 50 and is also healthy. She is the only child too, and I'm the only child - 21 years old.
These studies shows, that, the risk of the als among relatives of younger indyviduals with als is much much more higher than in older indyviduals. So now I'm terrible frightened, and I'm thinking all the time, that I will inherit the disease.
If there is someone who can help me cope with these thoughs, please, help...
