Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis may consider Diane Huberty unfair. Unknowing of their future, Nurse Huberty specialized in caring for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients, until they became one and, even then, they continued to do so until 'forced' into retirement and developing their website:

ALS From Both Sides

Presently quite possibly the longest surviving female Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patient and not very far, if at all, behind the newly declare 'leader' in this story from Time magazine on Stephan Hawking's passing.

The point of this post: Diane Huberty has survived longer with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis than the majority of United States Citizens have lived!

Either being or having a nurse as a spouse appears as one of the strongest factors in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis longevity.

So take that Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis!

We have lost one of humanities best weapons against Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis:

612 Moons with ALS

Diane Huberty, Certified Neurology RN, may be the longest surviving female Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patient.

Steve Wells was regarded as the new longest-living
Steve Wells: Canada’s longest-living ALS survivor)
patient subsequent to the passing of Stephen Hawking . . . Nurse Huberty and Mr. Wells (I was unable to discern Mr. Wells's symptom onset date from the intel on the web) lived at least forty-five years with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; I have found less than twenty patients in the "over twenty years" category, so both of these patients are profoundly rare and thus not statistically significant (among at least four hundred patients, although Mr. Wells in not in my study). I have Nurse Huberty's survival at 16,715 days: there are likely very few candidate females thus Nurse Huberty may have survived the longest among female Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients . . . maybe someone has an insight on this issue?
