Re: common cause of als
This is the most significant discovery in ALS research in many years.
My first reaction was a kind of excitement, that there was hope that I would see some benefit from this. I allowed myself to start thinking I may live a long life after all. But I quickly caught myself, and realized that any drug therapy resulting from this would be at least 5 years away, sadly this is too long a wait for me.
I'm generally a very positive person and have been living my life with ALS in (what I think is) a very positive way. The positive here is that there is real hope for people who are just being diagnosed now, or perhaps in the next few years. Wonderful news!
