Help Theresa Fight ALS, for survival
Hi, my name is Theresa and I am a Registered nurse, retired at present. Diagnosed with ALS on May 11th, 2021. After dealing with subtle symptoms beginning last summer. Episodes of SOB, weakness and falls. Last November, symptoms became worse dealing with fatigue, increased SOB, body becoming weaker, falls, swallowing, difficulties and voice changes with taking a lot of effort when speaking, and uncontrollable crying, not even knowing why I am crying.
A devastating incurable disease. Now becoming knowledgeable of multiple clinical trial developments that are out there, located all around the world. There are clinical trials with the hope it is lifesaving. I feel I’m too young to die and leave my family devastated. Hope and living every moment truly counts for me.
