Thank you so much for your reply , I do appreciate it and find it very helpful .
I'm 53 , and was seen today for the first time by my rehab care team doctor who is
going to arrange physio , speech therapy , and occupational therapy , as well as a personal alarm . I will indeed keep up my spirits and will take each day as it comes and grab it by the horns :-D x

Hi,
I must admire your spirit, please keep it up.
It is important to remember that some patients with ALS have arrested curse of the disease which means the disease progression stops after some time. These patients are able to carry with their daily activities without support.
These patients have a good prognosis and are generally quite young at the time of diagnosis.
