What Is Lou Gehrig's Disease?
2. Symptoms
As mentioned, Lou Gehrig’s disease will affect the patient’s ability to move their muscles. However the type of symptoms and their severity will vary from case to case. The symptoms will be barely noticeable to begin with, but they will gradually get worse as time goes by and the disease progresses.
Some of the common symptoms experienced include a weakness in the legs, and difficulty walking, and the patient may also trip over more often than usual. The patient may also lose strength in their hands and this, combined with weakened legs, can make it harder for the patient to perform simple chores.
