I knew of my grandmother dying of ALS but thought that was it (she died at 73). Last year my mother began with a foot drop and she saw a thrillion Drs, dont know how many CT scans and MRI's. Until last week where it was confirmed it is ALS at age 65. Upon review of fam hx turns out 5 of my grandmother's brothers died of ALS roughly in their 60s - 70s. We are three sisters and we all have kids and this have been devastating news. Since my mother got her possible diagnosis I have felt twitches/cramps and what not but is mostly anxiety. I have no questions just wanted to share my story, this is soo painful and I dont know how to cope with this news and seeing my mom struggle is very painful.
