Part Two
We are continuing our series on the effects of limited social interaction. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the country to limit social interaction like never before. While being confined to the home has taken some getting used to for many people, it is a way of life for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We are continuing our series on the effects of limited interaction and the COVID-19 crisis in general.
Uncertainty
The COVID-19 crisis caused many to feel uncertain about the state of the world and their future. A person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis lives with uncertainty each and every day. They wonder about things such as how their disease will progress and when they will lose certain functions and need to rely on ALS assistive technology such as an environmental control until and/or ALS communication device to maintain a quality of life.
Desperate for a Cure
As folks anxiously wait for a cure for COVID-19, individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and their loved ones experience this type of urgency on a daily basis. While ALS assistive technology can improve quality of life, a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis knows that their disease will progress and their only hope is a cure.
ALS is Lifelong
There will be an end to the COVID-19 crisis. However, for a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, their struggle will continue for the rest of their life.
