Age

Daniel was diagnosed Feb. 2003 and died Dec. 2005 at age 44.

I do not think age is a factor for ALS, we can see what a different range of people here is affected by it regardless of age or gender.

I wish you all a good day! :lol:

Thanks Capt Al. I will go right after work tonight and look for a cushion and see if it helps him. He never complains, but I can tell by the look on his face that he's hurting. He doesn't like to take medicine of any kind, has always been that way so we'll see if the cushion helps - hope so, and anything is worth trying!

AngieH - That's a huge bummer. I see you've got a bunch of kids too. That's about where my hubby and I are at except for who got the diagnosed. - Liz

My husband was diagnosed in March of 2007. Symptoms started around Thanksgiving 2006 (if he is being totally honest with me). He had his rotator cuff operated on in March of 2006 and there were no problems at that time.

He has no military history but has been in the oilfield and welding business all his life. He is 49.
