ALS/Lou Gehrig's

[Lip_Ripper Guy]

Is anyone on the site unfortunate enough to have ALS/Lou Gehrig's? My mom was diagnosed last week at the young age of 55, and I'd like to find some local people to put her in touch with. Like anyone who would find themselves in the same shoes, she (and the rest of the family) is having a lot of anxiety related to fear of the unknown. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear the tough news. I hope the best.

Kent Hrbek does some amazing things in the ALS/LGD area he lost his dad way to early from the disease.

In case you haven't already found this site here are a couple links to the area ALS pages and local support groups~

Being in the south Metro, you are only an hour or so from the Mayo Clinic. I am sort of biased due to the care I have gotten there, but you might consider taking her there, if her insurance covers it.
