Answers:

OK, A friend of mine was diagnosed with ALS last July. Hewas having problems way before that with picking up things and he started to feel weak. Had trouble getting in and out of the car and climbing stairs. Eventually he did become very week and developed pneumonia. He became bed ridden and could hardly speak because he was so weak. He passed away exactly one month ago on June 11. I miss him very much. This is one terrible disease. My heart goes out to anyone who has it.
