The local sports community was collectively shocked upon hearing the news earlier this month regarding Jenks head football coach Allan Trimble. The longtime head of the Trojans football program announced his diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. As a sign of support, some of the other head football coaches in the area revisited the "Ice Bucket Challenge."
My husband has been diagnosed with ALS since August ‘2021 and started taking Riluzole without missing any doses. After taking this drug for 2 years we noticed more advancements in breathing difficulties, difficulty pronouncing words, and difficulties eating occurred before we made the decision to try different medications Around last year we learnt about the ALS/MND programme which has helped a lot of similar ALS cases, we decided to try the program, it has made tremendous difference for my husband, He received the treatment for ALS at uinehealthcentre.com approximately four months ago; since then, he has stopped using a feeding tube, sleeps well, works out frequently, and has become very active.
