How Humor Helps ALS Patient With Diagnosis

[@2nww3r]

My dad died from ALS, and his life was similar to hers, almost "unrelatably perfect" and had great friends during his life

[@Arkensius1157]

Sorry for your loss May he Rest In Peace

[@penelopephelange]

@@Arkensius1157 lmao he’s in 🔥 😂

[@shortyklee]

So proud she made a humor out of it.. just live your life

[@Charlotte-on6wz]

I’m humbled by your life🎉 15:03

[@charlesgerety1403]

I would be freaking out big time. Shes incredibly brave.

[@kandydewey1286]

It would be a game changer if all her gadgets were affordable to all ALS patients. Prayers for all suffering

[@JustAGirlWhoLovesCats]

What an inspiration! I have a chronic illness that's not terminal, and I am guilty of frequently feeling sorry for myself. She will now be my role remodel! I love to be funny, so why not use this negative to laugh?! Thank you for this story about such a remarkable young lady!❤️

[@celestephelps5897]

Well, Brooke, I don't have ALS but I do have a spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. I admire you for finding humor in your diagnosis; it's good medicine for your soul! I also agree about the issue of being "wheelchair bound":we're not bound to our wheelchairs! I play wheelchair sports. If you haven't, check it out!

[@RBMedia2]

God bless this lady. God is with you keep fighting. Your amazing

[@toeholt]

God Bless this sweet lady..I pray ALS will be cured...

[@Donnie-hf5du]

Wonderful. I m not a lady and others ignore me

[@mnmssss21]

I’ve lost the ability to stand and walk over 15 I’ve been bedridden they don’t know what I have I just looked drunk walking and I fall down use lose my balance I don’t have any muscle mass in my legs. Then I had a stroke that also time out my left arm. But I’m happy And I don’t take one day for granted I’m trying everyday to be here. Till they figure out what I have. You go girl keep fighting. 🎉god bless you all

[@mriyke4719]

Do you have breathing problems

[@bethanygriggs2669]

God bless you!

[@ediekoller1144]

I am not naive but I did not realize that so many young women have ALS. I kept thinking of the old movie with Gary Cooper playing Lou Gehrig the NY Yankee baseball player and getting sick. Brooke is lucky to have great support from friends and family and is rolling with the punches with this horrible disease.

[@sananselmospacescienceodys7308]

She has such a positive attitude.

[@natassiarodriguez7420]

Praying for her and her family 🙏

[@vinamarie_]

God bless her and everyone suffering.

[@rebeccapollack2398]

My grandmother had ALS and my aunt has it. My dad carries the gene. It’s something I am constantly worried about.

[@tomhennessy7276]

"Our observation leads to the hypothesis that moderate iron chelation regimen that avoids changes in systemic iron levels may constitute a novel therapeutic modality of neuroprotection for ALS"

[@debbiecooper1677]

best of luck young lady

[@jessedavid4271]

5/14/24 - Thank you for sharing your story A friend was diagnosed Oct 2022 with ALS Your description of daily meds / physicians / various therapies Describes his live-life routines In his case he has to fight tooth and nail his medical insurance for coverage He is experiencing rapid lost of basic bodily functions Feeding tube / loss of speech / energy and strength degraded He is grateful for the amazing support of family / friends / medical professionals He has no family history of ALS As you stated there is no current explanation for what cause ALS nor is there a known cure Navigating this profound change in his daily living continues to take its toll

[@SarahPriceHancock]

I use a tilt-recline power wheelchair when leaving the house, but most days I use a "Life Glider" hands-free walker. It was a game changer for preserving what muscle I still have.

[@misslady2121]

Wow what an inspiration!

[@Charlotte-on6wz]

Also thank your caregivers 🎉we all need then🎉 8:26

I am not “bound” to my wheelchair. I am “bound” to my faulty body.

[@leasullivan788]

bless your heart

[@Venividivici55555]

Umm what kind of humor is that of what she said there on stage about a Kardashian if they got ALS we would all be saved? That's not humor, that's crazy talk.

[@Maxmartin12355]

Probably because people love them so much they would find a cure to keep them alive i don't care for celebrities.

[@Androth12]

Maybe you should listen to understand…

[@Prophet_be_her_name.]

Has the ALS community looked into the medicinal properties of mushrooms (medicinal & magical)? Also, this lady is wonderful!!

[@Itsmehi456]

This girl has it WAY better than so so many people. Look at her with all her gear, private planes, top notch doctors that people could only dream of. She is able to live this way and have this (condescending perspective) bc she’s filthy rich. Her view belittles how so many people suffer with this disease.

[@MichelleSK6]

Well, this is HER story 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@MichelleSK6]

Also everything she has is usually covered by any decent insurance. I'm a caregiver for the disabled.

[@Trund27]

This unfortunately is true, because poor people cannot access these tools to help them.

[@h.b16]

Her view does not belittle anyone. It could help others. The fact that she’s still so positive even though she knows she’s going to die is empowering. Because she has ALS you want her to be miserable and have a poor quality of life for the rest of her time with her loved ones? That’s unbelievably cruel. Terrible diseases happen to people all the time. We need to change our thoughts on this and instead of expecting or letting those people be miserable for their remaining time on earth, we need to help them and allow them to find the best way for them to live their lives comfortably and happily. So stop thinking that she should be miserable like most people because of her disease. That’s so negative.

[@pattym6875]

Condescending perspective???? Give me a break! She inspires me to be positive in whatever life throws at me… and I am 54 and healthy! You do you…. Let her do her! I love her!!!!!!

My dad died from ALS and he got diagnosed in 2021 and he died later that year but i knew he had it for a few years i feel sorry for her but she will die before theres no cure for als my dad died at 60 to 62 years old

[@mriyke4719]

Did he have breathing problems those few years or later what about limb weakness so sorry about your dad

[@eurekamreum5458]

She knows she's gonna die, she's just trying to make light of her situation. What else can she do?

[@KPAproductionStudios1970]

Just because you say your comment first, doesn't necessarily mean that Inside Edition is gonna like your comment as you think they would, on other channels you be watching. 😂 And also you weren't the first one to be there, there was another comment that you just didn't see before you lol.

[@200555280]

It’s horrible to say you wish ALS to a Kardashian even as a joke?? You dislike them but to say that to someone didn’t harm you. She wouldn’t be cool if someone said to her you deserve it.

[@KPAproductionStudios1970]

What the hell? Please tell me where you heard that? Or is this a thing where you're just trolling? 🤨

[@MichelleSK6]

She means people will actually care!!!

It kind of sounded like she mainly meant that they would find the cure if someone that famous got it

To wish also on a Kardashian though, not cool.Having terminal illness doesn't excuse cruelty,or being hurtful.That wasn't funny.sorry but no

What could she have possibly done to have something as horrible as ALS as a punishment while narcissists and abusers run around healthy?
