Lou Gehrig's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are other names for motor neuron disease (MND). Although it can start in many places of the body, it is a neurological disease that advances quickly and frequently starts with weakness in the hands, feet, or voice muscles. It can also progress in different ways and at varying speeds.
Motor neurone disease symptoms (MND)
MND causes
MND's effects on caregivers
The person's physical condition will change quickly as MND worsens, necessitating more help from a caregiver. Both the caregiver and the MND patient will eventually require higher and higher degrees of emotional and physical support.
Treatment
Although MND is still incurable, many of its symptoms are manageable. Hence, always seek treatment from the best hospital for neurology.
