    I am 72 and have been diagnosed with ALS. Because I am a mallwalker, I have been able to keep my legs from getting weak. At home, as I go upstairs, I say out loud to myself "Brain, lift my legs, lift my legs". I repeat this until I am to the top of the stairs. Since I started doing this, I have not fallen down on the stairs.

    If I get that disease I'm gonna take my own life but that's just me. I'd rather end my life than to end up like that. Especially since I've been a martial artist for many years. I'd never be able to mentally adjust to not being able to move and care for myself. I'd use my remaining strength to end it before I get to the point that I can't end it.
