Lou Gehrig’s Disease care for La Canada seniors

Symptoms of ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease often begin near midlife, with innocuous subtlety. You notice occasional freezing of the fingers or twitching in your arm. Or your limbs won’t cooperate at random times of the day. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, like many other diseases, sneaks up on you with little warning. As the patient experiences body degeneration, curious details remain. The parts of the body that are paralyzed can still fully feel; the nerves connected to touch are not affected. It is the ability to move that is taken away.
