For me and my...What a wonderfully written article. For me and my ALS, I am approaching day 2,481. My mind has been up and down and all around in handling my emotions. One day you are in the right frame of mind and the next you could be totally upside down. Not only are caregivers stricken with this disease there are the family members who become ill in other ways. <br />Life goes on, and for me I also must face all the realities of family life. I had to react to the death of my niece, breast cancer took her at the age of 42. Then it was my brother, her father who fought dementia in loss of speech and leg movement and eventually death without a diagnosis of anything. My sister suffers from schizophrenia and my other brother recently was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Call it the domino effect of the brain.<br />To me, ALS is the biggest -- smallest part of my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
