ALS hits family hard

My name is Teresa, I had a brother who got the ALS when in his 50’s,no one in our family has history of this. He died within 6 months of diagnosis. My mom at 85 died 8 weeks later and now I have no family at all so I do hope someday that someone finds out what causes this bad disease.

He had wife,2 kids and grandson and it was his family who took care of him till the end. Why won’t the doc’s tell the people the truth,I believe they know how too just believe they won’t.

This has devestated us all so much,seems no one cares once our loved ones are gone ,but that is a life ,which is precious, I wish people cared!!!
