===Lewis Gehrig was born June 19th, 1903. He was diagnosed on June 19th, 1939(his 36th birthday) with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). It is not known how it is inherited only 7% inherited 93% random. Lewis’s muscles would twitch. Also he got cramps very easy. He also became stiff and will be weak and he had trouble moving. His speech was slurred and also had difficulty speaking. He had to cut food up very small because he had trouble swallowing his food and also his salvia. He lost his ability to walk, use his hands or feet so he had to stop playing baseball. There was no chance that he could get any medication so he had no chance.===

===ALS will start when you are 25 and progress over decades. Then 3-5 years after being diagnosed you will die. Only 25% will live more than 5 years. Now these days first you get a drug treatment which was Riluzole. This is used to try to slow down ALS. Next you get either Baclofen or diazepam and this will stop your activities. Next you would receive either Trihexyphenidyl or amitriptyline and this will help you swallow salvia. Then you will receive Physical Therapy or Rehab to help walk and use your hands. They will give either give you braces or a wheelchair.===
