Patient families with LGS participate in clinical trials and take survey after survey, but too often this information is not made readily available to families and to the wider research community. To advance LGS research, we must #FreeTheData. lgsfoundation.org/2022-lgs-resea…

Thank you Jazz Pharmaceuticals for your #epidiolexengage program to fight on behalf of families for access. My son has been on #epidiolex for 4 years, good seizure control and no side effect but constant battle with #insurance, hours on the phone.

#DYK more than 80% of cases of SYNGAP1 are caused by a haploinsufficiency of the SYNGAP1 gene? We’re working with Acadia Pharmaceuticals to research a new way of treating the disease. #SyngapAwarenessDay

Beautiful but I hate what these supermoons do to my #syngap kid. No sleep, more #seizures, crazy emotions, total mess! As anyone ever published a scientific paper on this? Also NASA when is the next one? I need to mentally prep for it.

Drug screen ✅ Positive hit ✅ Patients on drug with positive results ✅ Getting a French over the counter drug approved in the US for #Syngap1 and available for entire community = new⛰️to climb and challenge accepted!
