Looks like there is a new drug in pipeline which can help me. I am so excited!

Muscle function was assessed by muscle manual testing (MMT), a commonly used ALS endpoint which uses a manual method of functional assessment of 34 muscles over the whole body. In addition, a subset of subjects that showed an increase in muscle function over this period also demonstrated improvement in one or more additional end-points. These end-points include the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) which is a validated rating instrument for monitoring the quality of life and progression of disability in patients with ALS and whose scores correlate significantly with survival, and forced vital capacity (FVC), a measure of lung function.
