I have just found out that a very close friends father has been diagnosed with Motor neurone disease. I want to give all the the support I can. But I need to know and understand the severity and diagnostics of it.Are there any alternative therapy's that can help and prolong as well as making it easier for the inevitable?
I have a client who has suffered with motor neurone disease for 2 years. He has lost his vocal communication and is unable to swallow (he has a peg feed in his stomach), but is still very active and positive. He enjoys a weekly head, neck and shoulder massage with aromatherapy oils which improve his sleep and reduce his anxiety levels.
He is such a joy to know and treat!

question
I too have a friend who was diagnosed with this terrible disease just over a year ago, recently her speech is slurring and I can't understand once someone cannot swallow, how do they not choke?
Why two threads on Motor Neurone?
