Search MEDLINEplus Welcome to Focus on ALS which is a website created to provide information about the disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It is also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease named after the famous baseball player who died in 1941. To learn more about ALS, you can start with the What is ALS? or FAQ pages. My name is Debbie Tope. I live in Baltimore, Ohio and have been living with ALS for 10 years. I was officially diagnosed in September of 1995 but I started showing symptoms in late 1993. If you would like to read a more detailed history of my life with ALS, you can read My Story I started Focus on ALS in 1996 and have continued to add to it until it now has over 700 pages. So it is my hope that I have all the information that you are looking for. I update my News Center pages as often as news is released pertaining to ALS. I subscribe to many sources for news so that Focus on ALS can be your one source for the latest ALS news. I update the entire website at least weekly so check back often. I have added a new Guestbook and Message Board to my site. I am hosting both myself which means that I will have more control over them.

Vance Foundation is a nonprofit corporation, whose purposes include but are not limited to public education and funding of research for a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and providing assistance to the victims of the disease and their families. The Curtis R. Vance Foundation was created by Curtis Vance and his wife and caregiver, Heidi, in the winter of 1999. Diagnosed with familial ALS in December, 1998 at the age of 25, Curtis died in December 1999 as a result of respiratory failure. Throughout the time that Curtis lived with ALS, he remained positive that a cure would be found in his lifetime, and simultaneously lived each day as though it could be his last. He learned how to live while he prepared to die. His humor, love, and generosity flowed out of him and into every person who met him, both before and during his illness. Six months after the diagnosis, he questioned Heidi with a smile and a tear, "Why can’t you find the cure?" And, during one of his last days, he declared to her, "I pray that no one else in my family, or in the world, will ever feel the way I do now." Although mentally strong and emotionally healthy, Curtis was physically exhausted. He could no longer move his legs and arms, breathe on his own, or eat and drink without the aid of a feeding tube. His voice was soft and slurred, and since his facial muscles had recently deteriorated, a smile was almost an impossible task. But, one could still sense his spirit in his eyes, and it is his spirit that has pushed 25-year-old Heidi forward since the day Curtis left his riddled body. When her days of physically caring for Curtis came to a halt, she began dedicating the hours to their foundation, and hopes that someday she can fulfill her husband’s dreams.

MDA Is Here to Help You Dear Friends : When I learned in 1994 that I had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, my world changed. I was in my early 50s, had a good career with the U.S. Small Business Administration, and was a husband and father. Suddenly, I faced a serious disease that would affect every aspect of my life. Glenn Harwood I decided my best weapon in this battle would be attitude. I've met every challenge ALS has presented with an approach that's unbeatable: I can do it, I will do it. With that conviction, I have a full and rewarding life with the help of a power wheelchair, a voice synthesizer and lots of e-mail. I've continued working, traveling and learning. I have wonderful allies in this fight: a fantastic family, including my wife, Fran, our two children and two beautiful grandchildren, who give me all the help I need and great joy and purpose. My faith in God never fails me, and helps me keep going with hope. I've also honed my sense of humor. I carry a page of jokes with me at all times and regularly e-mail friends across the country with "My Sunday Bulletin," a compendium of jokes I collect from my e-mail friends. My motto is "Can't Walk or Talk But Can Always Laugh."

    Extractions: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also called ALS or "Lou Gehrig's disease") is a classic motor neuron disease. Motor neuron diseases are progressive chronic diseases of the nerves that come from the spinal cord responsible for supplying electrical stimulation to the muscles. This stimulation is necessary for the movement of body parts. ALS is progressive and fatal. The usual causes of death of patients with motor neuron diseases are not directly related to the disease, but result from simultaneous additional illnesses which ultimately occur because of weakness of the body. These illnesses are often infections. ALS occurs most often in adults in the fifth through seventh decades of life. It progressively leads to death in 2 to 7 years. The cause is unknown.

Annual incidence is approximately 1/100,000 population Pockets of high incidence in Guam (ALS-Parkinson-dementia complex), the Kii peninsula of Japan, and western New Guinea. 95% of cases in the US are of the sporadic variety, but a few families have several members with the typical clinical picture of sporadic ALS arising in an autosomal dominant pattern. Onset of the disease can be as early as the third decade of life, most cases begin after age 40, and the incidence increases into the eighth decade. Etiology: unknown Male = Female Symptoms Slowly progressive muscle weakness involving the limbs, trunk, respiratory muscles, throat, and tongue. Onset is insidious, and initial symptoms may be confined to a single limb, especially the distal muscles.

My dear father, Warren Lee Stickney, lost his battle with ALS on January 16, 1999.  I wanted to do something to honor his memory and to celebrate his life, so I thought of dedicating a web page to him.  Then I deceided that there were far too many PALS in this world who have loved ones that would like to do the same, so this page is dedicated to all PALS everywhere.  If you have a story and/or pictures of a PALS you would like to honor please e-mail me at wlsals@yahoo.com ALS(also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a neurological disease affecting the nerves that supply all voluntary muscles.  It is one of the most devastating diseases there is.  There is no cure.  ALS affects the muscles of the arms, legs, face, tongue, speech, swallowing and breathing- eventually leading to paralysis. ALS does not affect thinking or intelligence. Feb. 1999 - This is my story of my dad, I will just write what I am thinking at the time so I may sound like I am rambling but please forgive me.  I just want people to know what kind of person the world has lost.  I have heard it said that PALS are the nicest people you could ever meet and this was true of my dad. A little about him.  Warren Lee Stickney was born in June 1932, he was the youngest of several children.  Grandpa (I started calling him Grandpa almost 20 years ago when my nephew Daniel was born) used to always tell us kids of his adventures as a child (and I am still lucky enough to have his older brother, Bert, come and visit and tell these tales to me and my kids). Grandpa grew up in Michigan and lived on the lake.  He spent his boyhood camping, fishing, swimming,etc.

Disorders and Diseases A Challenge for Speech-Language Pathology By Pamela Mathy A myotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), first identified in 1869 by the French neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot, is a relentlessly progressive degenerative motor neuron disease that primarily affects the motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord. Lou Gehrig, with whom the disease is often associated, brought international attention to ALS in 1939, when it caused him to retire from baseball. More recently, a variety of public figures from actors (Michael Zaslow) to physicists (Stephen W. Hawking) to retired university professors interviewed on Nightline (Morrie Schwartz) to senators (Jacob Javits) have focused attention on this-devastating disease. Symptoms The early symptoms of ALS are varied. For some it begins with speech slurring, difficulties with swallowing, and/or hoarseness. Others may experience uncharacteristic clumsiness or tripping. Difficulty lifting may be the initial symptom for others. Clinically, the signs and symptoms are divided into two areas-spinal functions and bulbar functions. Three-quarters of people report initial spinal symptoms (weakness in the upper and/or lower extremities) and about one-quarter present with bulbar symptoms (weakness with changes in both speech and swallowing). Both upper and lower motor neurons characteristically become involved as the disease progresses.
