Carol has a friend that's been a coworker of her's ever since she started at her company. They sit across from each other. They go to WeightWatchers together.
For a while now, the coworker has been having some very odd neurological problems. Her doctors recognize that there is something wrong, but were stumped about what it could be.
Her problems have gotten increasingly severe.
Finally, one night, her husband rushes her to a hospital - they can't stand it any longer. They happen to hit the ER during a time when a neurologist is there on rotation. He was concerned and brought in a number of other neuro-specialists and they convinced her that they will work with her until they could identify what was going on.
The coworker had been doing her own research and she was worried that it could be MS - Multiple Sclerosis, though she didn't have some of the symptoms.
The doctors ruled it out. But they did finally come up with the diagnosis:ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (often called Lou Gehrig's disease).
She's married and in her 30's. And now she has ALS.
Let's just say it was not a good day in the office when the staff found out.
