Hi All,
Firstly I want to say I am extremely sorry that some of you have to deal with this horrible illness, I also feel sorry for the people who have had to care and watch their loved ones pass away. I can't say I understand how it feels because I don't.
I am currently writing a research...
A couple of months ago I had my young children help me take the "Ice Bucket Challenge." Their laughter after the icy water hit me is something I'll never forget. The sheer joy in helping their dad and seeing my reaction was priceless. Here we are two months later though and I'm dealing with my...

Dr Google says FALS strikes 10 years earlier, on average, than SALS.
Another source said FALS could strike as early as 20 years young.
Any more inputs? What is the youngest age of onset that you know of?
