How long did Lou Gehrig live with als?
When Lou Gehrig began showing symptoms of the disease is not really known but his performance on the field started to drop off during the 1938 season and he also complained about being tired a lot. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in June, 1939 and passed away on June 2, 1941. So he lived 2 years after being diagnosed with the disease and may have been showing symptoms a year before he was diagnosed.
