Having fucked a girl with ALS for a while…
I can tell you that he’s NOT going to “beat it”. (The disease, not his meat.)
He will likely be able to take some medication that weakens his immune system so that it isn’t crippling him all of the time, but he’s not likely to ever tour again. He may get to the point where he can occasionally play at an event, but 65+ year-old people with weakened immune systems do not risk touring. He’s really lucky that the nerve pain hasn’t hit yet
The girl I was dating was a doctor that had become a professor, but then had to retire from that because the standing and presenting was no longer possible.
She was an English major in college (Ivy League) so she started working on research projects. The other people did the research and she typed away from home making the information understandable, because most doctors suck at writing.
Even typing away from home became too much and now she just does what she can, takes tons of pills at different times of day, and hopes that something is discovered.
All this and she currently is only 54 years old and only leaves her building for doctors appointments.
