I often receive comments about how well I have adjusted. Remember, we are all different and will experience disease differently. There is no perfect way to go through this journey. Even though I have been on this road for almost fifteen years, I don’t know it all. In fact, I have experienced very little of the plethora of ways to respond to disease.

Others suggested this is wrong and there are more responses and roads to travel. ALS – A Lasting Strength may not be physical. Dig deep and find out what else you have in you.
