ALS Robbed My Daddy

Wed, 07/17/2013 - 01:04 -- blyon1

The body slowly became useless 

Slowly but surely he lost all function

Couldn't tell me he loved me

Wasn't able to ask how my day was

He wanted to hug me but his arms wouldn't let him

His hands wanted to play ball with me 

I watched it eat his body alive

Yet his mind was left stay

So he knew exactly what was happening

What would you do if you looked into those eyes?

Knowing they were your eyes too

ALS robbed my daddy

In December my health took a turn for the worse I became very weak fast and could not even eat When I say fast I mean going from eating a full plate of food to three days later not being able to drink a a sip of water I went to VA hospital emergency room for dehydration and figure they schedule me for a feeling tube placement They admitted me and two weeks later I woke up to my standing over me in the hospital room this occurred during my second or third drug holiday from Radicava Again no way to know if what I experienced was a side effect When I was discharged I was completely paralyzed So i started on Ayurvedic treatment from Natural Herbs Centre as time went on movement returned to my legs and to my arms and hands Able to hold my head up and strength has returned I give credit to God and NHC for my recovery Almost forgot to mention I was on 24 hours ventilation Now only use vent at night and during naps Was diagnosed in 2021 with ALS, I urge you to seek out naturalherbscentre. com. We're a little scared to tell everyone because some people might not believe us, since there's no cure for ALS. But when I saw this post, I decided to share our story. This treatment is a breakthrough!
