ALS: Early Signs, Diagnosis and Quality of Life
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Charcot disease, is a rare neurodegenerative disease that progressively destroys motor neurons, the nerve cells that control the muscles. It causes progressive paralysis while, in most cases, leaving cognitive abilities intact.
To learn more about this disease, read the interview with Prof. Dr. Julien Bogousslavsky, FMH specialist in neurology at Clinique Valmont, featured in the Salle d’attente magazine. You can also read the testimony of Mr. Sean Murphy, who has been living with Charcot disease for more than 17 years and shares his day-to-day experience.
