Want a REAL reality TV show about ALS|MND?

Want a REAL reality TV show about ALS|MND? | #ALS AWARENESS #LouGehrigsDisease #PARKINSONS | Scoop.it
May 28, 2012 1:36 PM
Hey Discovery Fit and Health….. Want a REAL reality TV show? Why don’t you spend a day with me or if you can tolerate it spend a week. Or better yet pick one of the other 30,000 people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). And NO I did not eat 2 buckets of fried chicken, a pound of mashed potatoes and a half gallon of gravy for dinner. So I can’t be on your “My 600 Pound Life”. I am pretty sure none of us have any “Strange Addictions”. We don’t eat dirt or nail polish or dig in our ears. The only addictions I have are life and the love for my family; both of them are being taken away from me. I don’t hoard anything, except for the many cards and letters sent by family and friends so that “Extreme Hoarding” show is out.
You see ALS, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
I did not do anything to get this disease. I am just an average guy. I worked all of my life at one thing or another, doing my best to provide for my wife and girls. My story is not unique. None of us with ALS or MSA asked for this, but we all are struggling through it hanging on to HOPE. Why, because there is no cure.
So if want REALITY come spend some time with us.
Respectfully,
Samuel C. Smith Jr.
