Have you ever felt helpless? I truly hope that you have not.
When ALS ( or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) starts to take over your nervous system, you start to no longer be the boss of your body.
You might have difficulty doing things that used to be easy. Then you may have trouble walking. Then you can't walk. Then you can't use your arms. Then it gets worse.
Other people need to move you around....
