My mother was diagnosed with ALS by several neurologists and even had an EMG [electromyography] that indicated ALS.
My mom was entering the middle stages of ALS when she discovered she actually had tick-borne infections. Treating those infections has saved her life.
The following TikTok video shows my mom have three years of continuously treating tick-borne infection.
