I am doing Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. As you may already know it is a very devestating diease. One of the worlds best baseball players was killed by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Lou Gerhig. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a recessive trait. Only 10% of the worlds patients that have ALS, inherit it from there parents. Lou Gerhig was the only one in his family to have ALS so he was not part of the 10%.

As of right now there is no cure for ALS but there are doctors and physicians working on a cure for this deadly disease. Altough there is no cure doctors suggest physical therapy. There also is no vaccine. The disease starts in your hands and feet then it works its way through your body. The early signs includes: having a hard time lifting the front part of your feet and toes ( feeels like cynderblocks), weak hands, legs, feet and anckles, clumsiness, slurring of speech and trouble swallowing,and muscle cramps and twitching in arms, shoulders, and tounge.

Later symptoms include: fatigue, a stiff walk style, trouble controling emotions, and resprotory problems. Resprotory problems include having trouble swallowing and coughing. Some other symptoms include pnemonia, pulmonary embolism, and heart falure.
