She researches her symptoms, sees specialists and actually diagnoses ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) before the doctors do; however, her journey is only beginning. Patty's story is not just her story. It is also an account of the many friends who unite to become her caregivers, The Friends and Loved Ones of Patty Stachura, also known as the FLOPS.
