This is a story of pain, agony, and torture suffered by those afflicted with ALS. It is also a story of hope, love, and inspiration. There has been a heightened awareness about this illness recently but much is left to be understood about it. There is still no cure for it. While it is a limited recollection of my personal experiences and in no way presumes to represent what every person with disease goes through, I hope this book adds a little more to the body knowledge of the disability and loss endured with this progressive and fatal disease.

Navigating Life with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis provides accessible, comprehensive, and up-to-date information about the challenges patients, family members, and caregivers face when confronted by ALS, a disease that affects approximately 5,600 Americans every year, with as many as 30,000 people managing the disease at any given time. ALS is a difficult disease for the patient and is also challenging for the caregiver and family as there are many questions, issues relating to care, and problems to manage. This guide covers all aspects of managing ALS, from the onset of symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and coping strategies, to the use of home health care or hospice, and new research in the field. The book also sheds lights on difficult topics, such as end-of-life care and managing legal affairs. Navigating Life with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is unique because it covers two perspectives: one author is a neurologist with 30 years of experience treating ALS patients, and the other author experienced first-hand the issues in providing care for a parent with ALS. Formatted in a question-and-answer style, peppered throughout with patient stories, and with sections devoted to family members and caregivers, this compassionate resource provides guidance to those seeking to understand how to live with this disease.

Three little letters that will change your life forever. Lou Gehrig, also known as the Iron Horse, had an outstanding record in his years as a professional baseball player: 2,130 consecutive games played, 493 home runs, and 2,721 hits. All of this came before he was diagnosed with ALS at the age of thirty-six. In his farewell speech to his fans and teammates, he made a startling comment, “Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement." ALS became known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease because of his positive way of dealing with it. He died two years after his diagnosis, but he set the bar high for those living with ALS today. Fourteen years ago, Carol Ferguson was diagnosed with ALS, a disease with a life expectancy of two to three years. In ALS Meets Christ, she shares her story about how the Lord has kept her alive, and content, in spite of this disease. You, or your loved one, may be struggling with fear and discouragement after a diagnosis, but you are not alone in your struggles. The Lord wants to walk this journey with you; He understands your pain and suffering, and he wants you to set your mind on Him. In ALS Meets Christ, Carol offers encouragement and practical advice for those who are currently dealing with various challenges of ALS and trying to learn how to cope.

From NFL player Steve Gleason, a powerful, inspiring memoir of love, heartbreak, resilience, family, and remarkable triumph in the face of ALS In 2011, three years after leaving the NFL, Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal disease that takes away the ability to move, talk, and breathe. Doctors gave him three years to live. He was thirty-three years old. As Steve says, he is now ten years past his expiration date. His memoir is the chronicle of a remarkable life, one filled with optimism and joy, despite the trauma and pain and despair he has experienced. Writing using eye-tracking technology, Gleason covers his pre-ALS life through the highs and lows of his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, where he made one of the most memorable plays in Saints history, leading to a victory in the first post-Katrina home game, uplifting the city, making him a hero, and reflected in a nine-foot bronze statue outside the Superdome. Then came his heartbreaking diagnosis. Gleason lost all muscle function, he now uses Stephen Hawking-like technology to communicate, and breathes with the help of a ventilator. This book captures Gleason and his wife Michel’s unmatched resilience as they reinvent their lives, refuse to succumb to despair, and face his disease realistically and existentially. This unsparing portrait argues that a person's true strength does not reside solely in one’s body but also in the ability to face unfathomable adversity and still be able to love and treasure life.
