An ALS patient regains her voice after 3 years

Was it really ALS? The neurologist has doubts:

Joe Glaze said his wife’s doctor told him he had never seen a patient with ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, lose their voice and regain it.

“Lou Gehrig’s disease is a continually deteriorating disease that continues until a person dies,” said Dr. David Schmeidler, De’s physician. “It’s a neurological disease and they gradually go down, lose control of their muscles and waste away.”
