My wife and I took care of her father, who had ALS. He lived with us for the last few months of his life. The disease presented itself in his throat and the time of his first symptoms until he passed was rather brief. We were told that if the disease presents itself at your extremities it takes longer to progress to the heart and lungs.

Do you or someone you know have ALS?
