My dear father, Warren Lee Stickney, lost his battle with ALS on January 16, 1999.  I wanted to do something to honor his memory and to celebrate his life, so I thought of dedicating a web page to him.  Then I deceided that there were far too many PALS in this world who have loved ones that would like to do the same, so this page is dedicated to all PALS everywhere.  If you have a story and/or pictures of a PALS you would like to honor please e-mail me at wlsals@yahoo.com ALS(also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a neurological disease affecting the nerves that supply all voluntary muscles.  It is one of the most devastating diseases there is.  There is no cure.  ALS affects the muscles of the arms, legs, face, tongue, speech, swallowing and breathing- eventually leading to paralysis. ALS does not affect thinking or intelligence. Feb. 1999 - This is my story of my dad, I will just write what I am thinking at the time so I may sound like I am rambling but please forgive me.  I just want people to know what kind of person the world has lost.  I have heard it said that PALS are the nicest people you could ever meet and this was true of my dad. A little about him.  Warren Lee Stickney was born in June 1932, he was the youngest of several children.  Grandpa (I started calling him Grandpa almost 20 years ago when my nephew Daniel was born) used to always tell us kids of his adventures as a child (and I am still lucky enough to have his older brother, Bert, come and visit and tell these tales to me and my kids). Grandpa grew up in Michigan and lived on the lake.  He spent his boyhood camping, fishing, swimming,etc.

    Extractions: On Serendip Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a neurological disorder that involves the degeneration of motor neurons. A-myo-trophic is derived from the Greek language. A connotes something negative or none. Myo means it has something to do with the muscles. Trophic translates to "nourishment". The term Lateral is attributed to the parts of the spinal cord that ALS usually affects. The scarring that results from the degeneration of these neurons and nerves in the spinal cord is known as sclerosis. In 1941, Lou Gehrig, a famous baseball player, died of ALS. His name has been associated with this progressive fatal neuromuscular disease ever since. Another person whose name is associated with this disease is the French neurologist, Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot. He was the first to identify that motor neurons from the spinal cord are the main part of the nervous system affected by this disease, in 1869. For that, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is also known as maladie de Charcot. ALS is progressive and because there is no known cure or way of reversing it's effects, it is also fatal. Death usually ensues between 2 to 5 years after diagnosis. However, advances in research and the increase of support groups make it possible for some to survive longer. Twenty percent of ALS patients live longer than five years and almost ten percent live as long as ten years after diagnosis. Although cases of ALS have been observed among twenty- and thirty-year olds, it generally develops later in life (between the age of 40 and 70). Men and women, as well as different racial groups are equally susceptible in developing ALS although there seems to be a high incidence of this disease in Guam and the Trust Territories of the Pacific. ALS is becoming more and more prevalent in United States. Five thousand new patients are diagnosed with this disease every year as reported by the United States National Institutes of Health.

Lou Gehrig, with whom the disease is often associated, brought international attention to ALS in 1939, when it caused him to retire from baseball. More recently, a variety of public figures from actors (Michael Zaslow) to physicists (Stephen W. Hawking) to retired university professors interviewed on Nightline (Morrie Schwartz) to senators (Jacob Javits) have focused attention on this-devastating disease. Symptoms The early symptoms of ALS are varied. For some it begins with speech slurring, difficulties with swallowing, and/or hoarseness. Others may experience uncharacteristic clumsiness or tripping. Difficulty lifting may be the initial symptom for others. Clinically, the signs and symptoms are divided into two areas-spinal functions and bulbar functions. Three-quarters of people report initial spinal symptoms (weakness in the upper and/or lower extremities) and about one-quarter present with bulbar symptoms (weakness with changes in both speech and swallowing). Both upper and lower motor neurons characteristically become involved as the disease progresses.

Motor neuron diseases are progressive chronic diseases of the nerves that come from the spinal cord responsible for supplying electrical stimulation to the muscles. This stimulation is necessary for the movement of body parts. ALS is progressive and fatal. The usual causes of death of patients with motor neuron diseases are not directly related to the disease, but result from simultaneous additional illnesses which ultimately occur because of weakness of the body. These illnesses are often infections.

Condition Intervention Phase Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder without cure or known treatment that significantly improves function. Loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord of ALS patients causes the progressive symptoms. Laboratory studies have linked inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and caspase enzyme activation to motor nerve cell death in ALS. Minocycline-a medication currently approved by the FDA for treatment of bacterial infections-is a tetracycline antibiotic with high central nervous system penetration when taken orally. The drug inhibits the activity of iNOS and caspase enzymes.
