This story made me cry and made me appreciate life more. I believe that ALS is the most devastating prognosis to have . My heart goes out to Lindsey. God bless you.

One of the most heartwarming and inspiring spirits I've ever felt. I only felt it watching this video... that's how much strength it has. Simply beautiful love. I'm in awe and tears......

I lost my brother to this cruel illness. They got money for ALL their wars but don't have a penny for research for ALS .

[@catman8670]

Please..don’t be foolish

[@stevenking6129]

Imagine if we spent our money and used our smartest people on research.

We feel fulfilled & like we have & are fulfilling a purpose in life when we create art because we are connected to our higher beings in a dimension above and yet existing right here with us now. These higher beings create us, send us to earth or to this reality, and have us act our script or screenplay here. They feel fulfilled doing this because they are attached to and part of God, the Creator, who creates our worlds and all the dimensions. He/She feels fulfilled creating, and thus so do we. I saw all of this; I realized all of this in an out-of-body experience I had when I was 19 years old in March 1980. I went out dancing with friends that Wednesday night; we punk-rock danced at Raoul's club until we were totally exhausted, and thus totally relaxed. We had nothing to drink & we took no drugs. I was so relaxed that I was tingling all over as I headed up the elevator in Dobie Dorm at UT Austin where I was studying. I was at peace mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and in every way. I've never felt so at peace. It was then that I realized or caught glimpse of the higher dimension existing right here with ours at the same time. After I went into my room, I laid down on the bed and was really digging the way I felt - just tingling all over, and then I heard 3 loud knocks on the wall above my head. That was when I started to leave my body. I could see the shape of my spirit or soul that was hovering above my physical body lying beneath me on the bed. There was a silver cord or rope that came out of my soul's back and linked me to my physical body. My Spirit body was in the shape of my physical body but composed of round spheres the size of golf balls, brown and white, and rapidly vibrating back and forth with each other. I then felt the presence of someone else in the room, and I looked to my left and saw this man standing there, staring at me with a look on his face like, "Well, are you coming or not?". He was white with light brown hair, acne scars on his cheeks, a tan leather jacket, tan pants, and a cream-colored button-down shirt. I was so in shock at seeing him - I had never met him before & did not know who he was. The next thing I knew I was back in my body, staring at the spot where he just was, and he was no longer there. I jumped up and ran to look in the bathroom, which was next to where he was standing just a moment before, and no one was there. I looked in the closet and under my bed, but no one was there. I went outside into the hallway - the door was still locked from the inside. No one was there. I wasn't scared. I then went to sleep. I feel so lucky to have had this & other, similar experiences, throughout my life. I was raised in an atheist household, but I came to believe in the existence of God and spirits, angels, etc., from my own personal experienced. I also felt the spirit of my dog, right as she died and I held him in my arms, pass through my arms and sit on the table next to me.

Is she live??

[@donnaschweibert6639]

Yes.

[@lucyterrier7905]

ALS. Misdiagnosed many times. Just like MS. It'll be at least a decade before mainstream medicine knows to test for borrelia, micoplasma, Q fever, babesiosis, Bartonella etc. It's shameful that the cause of these autoimmune type diseases are not widely tested for the root cause. The mention of thyroid disease certainly cements the fact that this is an undiagnosed systemic infection, because many times the thyroid is often involved. It happened to me. I thank God & my husband for not giving up on me. After my diagnosis & treatment with different antibiotics for 5 years, I am now cured & have no symptoms. I got my eye sight in my left eye back, I can walk & I am no longer in pain. I am better than I was 10 years ago.

[@idrissaniang9920]

I am very happy you recovered madam, hope you are doing well

[@atheistmommy3710]

Very interesting woman. Also, I have a lot of respect for her, for not turning into imaginary god/gods for comfort but instead remaining the person that she was, and continuing her art. It takes not only rational thinking but courage.

[@superduty4556]

Yeah, people with a terminal disease who are religious sure are cowards. Way to put people in a bucket.

[@brnt034]

Atheist = a person who thinks about and talks about God a lot. And who believes they share common ancestry with dog crap bacteria. It's hilarious!!

[@moniqueh7948]

Do you atheists every talk about anything else other than God? you're so predictable.

[@stevenking6129]

You're exactly like a fundamentalist believer, you think everyone cares what you believe or do not believe and force it into every conversation.

[@Dollygirl66]

You have respect that someone believes like you in a time she is dying?! Keep your opinion to yourself. This woman is brave. And you calling her “ interesting “ shows how callous you are. ALS has nothing to do with religious beliefs.

Hard to shower when you can’t walk or stand … they normally have sponge baths and use baby wipes to keep clean but in the final phases probably doesn’t matter a whole lot as long as you are on colostomy and nephrotic waste removal … there more important things to deal with by then
