In life, there are always ups and downs. I learned that early in my life. But I never expected to have to live with ALS. Which, if I am being honest, is really, really hard. Here’s to ending ALS.
Good night moon.
If an FDA AdComm recommends approval of NurOwn, a person diagnosed with ALS will have 4 or 5 treatments to discuss with their doctor. Together, these treatments have the chance to stop or slow progression. This was a pipe dream when I was diagnosed. Now, it's very real.
The #ALS community must demand the same regulatory flexibility given to (lesser, really) treatments for similar brutal diseases. The #NurOwn#Adcomm must hold a transparent, fair hearing & recommend approval based on the totality of evidence (biomarkers, function gain, etc).

Today I put our groceries on our credit card because we have nothing left in savings or checking. 24-7 caregiving bankrupts families across the country. I am not sharing this for help, we will find a way through it. I just want the world to understand what ALS is.

If I were white, I’d want my kids to learn about Indian boarding schools and the Native American genocide. Not to make them “woke.” But to help them grow into intelligent, compassionate, well informed adults.
As a family nurse practitioner I deeply understand the risks and benefits of Tofersen and I could give a shit that doctors for America feels the need to protect me from saving myself #tofersenadcom
Every single day ALS families are dying while we wait for a vote on this effective therapy.
@FDACBER@DrCaliff_FDA please schedule the vote on NurOwn.
The world is watching and waiting for you to take action.
.@BrainstormCell you promised the #ALS community minutes from your #NurOwn meeting with the @US_FDA . You haven’t shared those minutes nor have you been transparent. The ALS community deserves better. We deserve transparency.
