My mother has just been diagnosed with ALS, 5 weeks ago, and has already lost the use of her arm and hand, she is only 53, her first cousin, died at the age of 56 from ALS, then her daughter at age 31 from ALS, and then her son at age 44 from ALS, we r not sure of any other family members, as my mom only knew this one family member, as her dad died when she was only little, and his family had nothing to do with them....so as you can probly guess i am 36 and just terrified, obssessed and confused, i cannot seem to find any straight answers about if i should be tested , if it will give me any answers etc, if i knew i could find a straight answer, i would like to know, especially since my family members were all so young, any advise would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
