According to the Mayo Clinic, the disease causes loss of muscle control as motor neurons gradually deteriorate and die. There is no cure, and symptoms typically worsen over time.
The condition often begins with muscle weakness in the hands, arms, feet, or legs and may also cause slurred speech or difficulty swallowing. As it advances, ALS affects the muscles needed to move, speak, eat, and breathe.

Despite the progression of the disease, Dane indicated at the time that he intended to keep working. He was preparing to resume filming Season 3 of “Euphoria” on April 14, just days after publicly sharing his diagnosis.
“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” he said. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”
But months after first sharing his diagnosis, Dane offered a more personal look at how the disease had progressed.
