Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. The incidence of ALS is two per 100,000 people, and it is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans may have the disease at any given time.
After diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig's or motor neuron disease) life expectancy is generally 2-3 years. The disease has no cure and progression of the disease is usually quick. Some patients may occasionally live for several more years. Not a nice way to go unfortunately.

My Mom was diagnosed with it in the late 70's. She used to get these shots of medicine every other day that had snake venom in it, some medical outfit out of Boca Raton Florida gave it to her. The disease crippled her left arm but then it went into remission. She believed the medicine worked and obviously it did. She is 82 years old and is still alive. I am not a religious person but taking into consideration the devastating effects of this disease, this is the closest thing to a miracle I have experienced. People say she was mis-diagnosed. What happened to her left arm then? It is useless.

20+ in rare cases

The difference between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy is that life expectancy is referred to the life expectancy if existing mortality patterns continue calculated at birth,unless specified other wise, such as the environment, lets say a baby who has been born in Australia, because of its good living conditions it would be around 80 years of age, compared to south Africa with its higher chance of getting disease, its rate is around 50 years of age. where as healthy life expectancy refers to life expectancy with out the burden of disease or injury. !
