 Lou Gehrig might not have had Lou Gehrig's disease This New York Times article is about the idea that Lou Gehrig might not have had Lou Gehrig's disease. A concussion or brain trauma may've caused some other pathology that looks like ALS. Obviously this article points out the need for brain autopsy to know the conclusive diagnosis. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/18/sports/18gehrig.html August 17, 2010 Researchers Link Lou Gehrigâs Disease to Brain Trauma By Alan Schwarz New York Times

Re: Lou Gehrig might not have had Lou Gehrig's disease Interesting article. Makes me wonder about one of my kids who's had several concussions from sports and an accident.....
