Found this yesterday on the beach. Life is so precious and the ALS community is reminded of that every day. This was a difficult few days for the ALS community, and I can’t help thinking about what @kelsieswrites said, “ hug your people”.

Did you know that 32,000 Americans are living with #ALS? Beside each of those 32,000 patients are care partners, family, and friends who want a better future for those who hear the words, "You have ALS." We're working to create that future. Will you join us? #alsawarenessmonth

*ALS life* A post from 12 days after I was diagnosed with ALS (2021). It took almost 3 years to officially say what I already knew. 1 year after diagnosis I started Toferson. I can't help but wonder if my 1st or even 2nd doctor took me serious about ALS, where would I be today?

Sometimes patients ask us what it means when we say that we work hand-in-hand with their existing care teams. It's a fair question--so, @DGeeEss1 wrote a blog post demystifying the process. synapticure.com/blog/the-art…

"Speed." "Hope." "Discover." "Something new." We think we're onto something when patient feedback sounds like this.

The services of the multidisciplinary clinic are irreplaceable. But they also don’t need to only be accessible in the clinic or all together at one time. Digitally led outpatient care is already dramatically improving care quality in every major disease, filing gaps in care.
There are <300 ALS and <700 PD specialists in the US for 30,000 and ~1M patients, respectively. Traveling all day for most patients to receive care is a burden; seeing patients when they need care with the existing infrastructure is near impossible. That's why we exist.
