    After watching this video I did some research and Corey is still alive and doing pretty well considering his ALS. He has been living with als for 15 years! His momma must be so happy! This is such good news. He is obviously very blessed, he is still able to use his voice, no breathing tube and even more handsome then in this video. His speech is not as clear as in this video but he is still talking. I found the video on Facebook. Bless you Corey! 🙏

      I wouldn't pray for either. I have primary progressive MS. I was diagnosed 10 years ago. At 32 years old. I am now a 42-year-old woman with advanced MS. I am completely paralyzed on my right side. No use of my legs, no use of my right arm, and my left arm is extremely weak. I cannot bathe myself, dress myself, I am chair bound, bed bound, and eating and drinking are becoming difficult because of the weakness in my love to hand. I'm completely dependent on caregivers and family. The way I see it, ALS is a fast death sentence, but MS, if you have a bad prognosis of, it's just a very long drawn out form of ALS. I will have to live the rest of my life like this, realizing that I will be in a nursing home shortly and people will be taking care of me for the rest of my life, while my brain functions fine, and watching myself deteriorate. I have very little bladder and bowel control, my speech gets slurred because my tongue gets weak. I am past the point of treatment. I progressed extremely fast. I wouldn't wish either of these diseases on anyone. To

    Im one of the chosen I suppose. Each day i wake with the knowledge that my risk for MND or what you call ALS is extremely high. So the fight you fight is for me. In my family i have lost 5 people to ALS in the past 20 years and i have to say that is a lot because i have a extremely small family. In genetic testing which i chose to go through they found i have a Malformation of the SOD1 gene which like my other family members makes me predisposed to the disease. So this sits quietly on a shelf and when you get that twitch, cramp or just feel a little weak or tired you wonder. is it? Please AXE ALS for you and me. thank you. Dont let go of your fight. You are in my prayers.

    I am feeling everything that they are talking about and I to have ALS. I take it one day at a time. I am going to be 58 in July. I got my diagnosis in October of 2020. I have struggling with this for over a year now. I wish that this young man could have some years before this happened to him. He is so young. That's the part that hurts me for him. I pray that he and his family can stay strong and trust in God and don't give up. Feel what you need to feel that way you can move forward and get ready for another day. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Praying for you all.

    Unfortunately, MS isn't much better. Yes, you have longer life span, but I feel that MS is just a long drawn out life of ALS. I have primary progressive MS. I was diagnosed at 32 years old, walking, functioning fine. 10 years later, I am chair bound, bed bound, completely paralyzed in my right arm, both of my legs, and have limited use of my left. I have to be very careful eating and drinking or I choke, I have severe spasticity, loss of bladder control, and just my overall happiness of life is very low. I am just surviving. So, ALS is a death sentence in terms of time, but I Dread the years I'm going to have the live like this. I'm 42 years old and I'm completely dependent on caregivers and family. I am unable to bathe myself, dress myself, and feeding myself is becoming very difficult just because my left arm gets so weak. I hate these diseases. I hate that they haven't come up with a cure. All they keep coming up with are treatments that are making the pharmaceutical companies billions of dollars. Not a way to live.
