  • What age were you diagnosed with LEMS?

    Hey all!

    Recently, I’ve had a couple of people reaching out to me on social media that were newly diagnosed with LEMS, a couple of them my age.

    I’m wondering what age you all were when you were diagnosed with LEMS?

    I was 26. What about you?

    Hi Ashley. I am in the group to give my sister with LEMS support. She was 65 at diagnosis.

    So so…she could be doing much better. The chemo has taken a toll and the LEMS is really tough. After the holidays she may consider IVig…it is such a struggle. Thanks for asking. I hope you are doing ok. šŸ™‚

    HeyĀ  @sweepea32!

    I’m sorry to hear, she is going through so much! I really think (and hope) that IVIG could be promising for her and give her some relief! Keep me updated!

     

    HeyĀ  @bobbi-lynn-berry !

    Thanks for sharing! I think the majority of this group was diagnosed around then as well

    No worriesĀ @bobbi-lynn-berry

    We all have our “brain fog” moments, and lately I’m finding I have a lot more of them so I totally understand! šŸ™‚
