I am sorry you have not received any answers from your previous message. Even though I do not have ALS I wanted to let you know that your post is being received in Tucson Arizona USA. Arizona is one state east of California. What I find most interesting is that my neighbor told me today that there has been a breakthrough in finding the cause of ALS - it seems that there IS a genetic cause and the researchers seem to have found the gene that causes it. I did not hear it myself but she is pretty reliable. Perhaps someone else on here has hear the same thing and can talk about it some more. Please, keep posting to us and I know that more people will answer you. Nadine -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!300!7.1!Nadine.Thomas Internet: Nadine.Thomas@p1.f7.n300.z1.fidonet.org
