I just found out that my dear friend's husband might have Lou Gehrig's disease. He has an appointment in two weeks at the mayo clinic to confirm this. He is having problems with his speech and twitching. We have found that other diseases have similuar symptoms. Does anyone have an helpful information for us? There is a Kennedy disease that seems to have a lot of the same symptoms without being fatal. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm very much aware of this disease. Lou Gehrig's disease damages motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The people who are affected are commonly adults between 40 and 70. Nothing to worry because it's not contagious. The early sign and symptoms of Lou Gehrig's disease are tripping or falling a lot, dropping things, having difficulty speaking, and cramping or twitching of the muscles.

I heard about the disease. It is not deadly it can be treated. There is nothing to fear about it. It mostly occurs in people who are in middle ages.
