My brother Doug lost his battle with ALS yesterday, quietly and on his own terms. As per his final wish his brain will be part of a familial ALS research study at U of Mich. Our dad died 40 years and 2 months ago from ALS and, of course, I have PD. Hopefully some good will come out of his contribution to the world class research teams working on familial ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Damn the disease, but not the death.

So sorry...I had a patient once (as a CNA) with AlS and it was one of the hardest things I ever went thru as she became worse and passed...it is still painful to think about.
God be with you and give you good memories of your loved one. So much suffering they do not face anymore....I pray for a cure for that disease and for all of us with PD. |

another disease, for which a treatment is desperately needed. Some very good people are working on it; I'm so sorry for your loss. Loss of a sibling seems very tough.
