T.H. is a 55-year-old man with an 8-month history of progressive muscle weakness. Initially, he tripped over
things and seemed to drop everything. He lost interest in activities because he was always exhausted. He sought medical assistance when his speech became slurred and he started to drool. During the initial evaluation, the physician noted frequent, severe muscle cramps, muscle twitching, and inappropriate, uncontrollable periods of laughter.

You are a home health nurse who is seeing T.H. for the first time. How would you explain ALS to T.H.?
