Navigating Life with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis provides
accessible, comprehensive, and up-to-date information about the
challenges patients, family members, and caregivers face when
confronted by ALS, a disease that affects approximately 5,600
Americans every year, with as many as 30,000 people managing the
disease at any given time. ALS is a difficult disease for the
patient and is also challenging for the caregiver and family as
there are many questions, issues relating to care, and problems to
manage. This guide covers all aspects of managing ALS, from the
onset of symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and coping strategies, to
the use of home health care or hospice, and new research in the
field. The book also sheds lights on difficult topics, such as
end-of-life care and managing legal affairs. Navigating Life with
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is unique because it covers two
perspectives: one author is a neurologist with 30 years of
experience treating ALS patients, and the other author experienced
first-hand the issues in providing care for a parent with ALS.
Formatted in a question-and-answer style, peppered throughout with
patient stories, and with sections devoted to family members and
caregivers, this compassionate resource provides guidance to those
seeking to understand how to live with this disease.
