    What an inspiration! I have a chronic illness that's not terminal, and I am guilty of frequently feeling sorry for myself. She will now be my role remodel! I love to be funny, so why not use this negative to laugh?! Thank you for this story about such a remarkable young lady!❤️

    Well, Brooke, I don't have ALS but I do have a spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. I admire you for finding humor in your diagnosis; it's good medicine for your soul! I also agree about the issue of being "wheelchair bound":we're not bound to our wheelchairs!
    I play wheelchair sports. If you haven't, check it out!

    I am not naive but I did not realize that so many young women have ALS. I kept thinking of the old movie with Gary Cooper playing Lou Gehrig the NY Yankee baseball player and getting sick. Brooke is lucky to have great support from friends and family and is rolling with the punches with this horrible disease.

    5/14/24 - Thank you for sharing your story
    A friend was diagnosed Oct 2022 with ALS
    Your description of daily meds / physicians / various therapies
    Describes his live-life routines
    In his case he has to fight tooth and nail his medical insurance for coverage
    He is experiencing rapid lost of basic bodily functions
    Feeding tube / loss of speech / energy and strength degraded
    He is grateful for the amazing support of family / friends / medical professionals
    He has no family history of ALS
    As you stated there is no current explanation for what cause ALS nor is there a known cure
    Navigating this profound change in his daily living continues to take its toll

    This girl has it WAY better than so so many people. Look at her with all her gear, private planes, top notch doctors that people could only dream of. She is able to live this way and have this (condescending perspective) bc she’s filthy rich. Her view belittles how so many people suffer with this disease.

      @h.b16 10 месяцев назад +13

      Her view does not belittle anyone. It could help others. The fact that she’s still so positive even though she knows she’s going to die is empowering. Because she has ALS you want her to be miserable and have a poor quality of life for the rest of her time with her loved ones? That’s unbelievably cruel. Terrible diseases happen to people all the time. We need to change our thoughts on this and instead of expecting or letting those people be miserable for their remaining time on earth, we need to help them and allow them to find the best way for them to live their lives comfortably and happily. So stop thinking that she should be miserable like most people because of her disease. That’s so negative.
