Ask Me Anything ALS is an idea born out of the community where I AM ALS advocates living with and impacted by ALS come together to answer questions from an audience of people who are seeking more information about a specific topic. The Ask Me Anything ALS - Finding Meaning as a Caregiver panel discussed how current and former caregivers and loved ones to people living with ALS have coped with the mental and emotional reactions to an ALS diagnosis, the exhaustion that often accompanies it, and how they prioritized finding meaning and purpose through and beyond ALS.
About ALS
ALS is a disease that attacks cells in the body that control movement. It makes the brain stop talking to the muscles, causing increased paralysis over time. Ultimately, ALS patients become prisoners within their own bodies, unable to eat, breathe, or move on their own. Their mind, however, often remains sharp so they are aware of what’s happening to them.
