Got LEMS, be a LEMS Educator
There is so much information out there to educate yourself about LEMS, and not only the physiology of the disorder, but also your own “data bank” of experiences. As we come in contact with others, this knowledge is a great tool to educate others, including health professionals. Today I was in the ER to deal with a knee problem, and the attending physician asked if he could send in a medical school student so I could teach him about LEMS. Of course I could! A fourth year student came to my room, anxious to learn. I not only explained the physiology of the problems at the neuromuscular junction, but told him how I was diagnosed and explained the common symptoms most of us experience. He was very eager to learn, and I was very happy to teach. Win, win. You too can be a LEMS educator!
