MND SA in South Australia, Australia
Laurel Hospice at the Flinders Medical Centre in South Australia, Australia
In the simplest terms, MND attacks and kills the motor nerve cells within the brain and spinal cord, essentially destroying the means by which messages from the brain and spine are sent to control all the body’s voluntary muscles. When they are gone, the muscles waste away and die, taking with them the ability to move forever.
The disease marches on, trapping the sufferer within his or her own body, until the muscles that control breathing die, leading to a gradual suffocation and ultimately respiratory failure and death.
MND is uncommon but not rare. Recent statistics estimate there are approximately 2,200 people in Australia currently diagnosed with MND. 400 new cases are diagnosed each year and the average age of onset is 50 years old.

    Anna's husband's care and love he gave to his beautiful wife brought tears to my eyes. Caring for a loved one is a tough role but he is awesome. Sorry to read through the comments that Anna passed away from this cruel disease but better care she could not have wished for. This was a couple that took their vows seriously and stuck to them.

    I thought i had this when i was 22. Was initially convinced i had MS, but after the lumbar i was told it had come back ‘negative. Initially i was pleased, but then realised the only other thing it could be was MND. Luckilly, the nurse made a mistake; it was positive. It was MS. But i feel like i was lucky it being MS and not MND or a brain tumor. MS still sucks, but im sure someone is looking down on me and protecting me❤

    Her husband is a top bloke who has faced this with her and as much as he is able to - battled it beside her. Though when she is gone he will experience sadness and perhaps even survivor guilt sometimes. I hope there are people there to remind him what a great job he did.

    I'm so sorry this woman was afflicted with this horrible disease. But sometimes when God takes something from us, he gives us something extra special. She was clearly blessed with a man who truly loves her. He said something wonderful. Something I think all women wish their men would think about them. He said I love her, and I am her biggest fan. In some ways she's a lucky woman.
