    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Do You Feel It When It’s Time For Another Spinraza Injection? in the forum Spinraza 3 years, 4 months ago

    Kevin – it’s funny you mention this.  I got my last dose about a week and a half ago and I feel great. Prior to that however – especially the few weeks leading up to it – I was feeling quite fatigued by things that otherwise hadn’t previously made me tired. I knew I had the shot coming up so I wasn’t sure if it was a sort of placebo. And I know…[Read more]

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Doing Fundraising to Attend Conferences in the forum Adults ​With​ ​SMA 3 years, 6 months ago

    I am going! But I registered for the research portion, but there is definitely overlap.

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Doing Fundraising to Attend Conferences in the forum Adults ​With​ ​SMA 3 years, 6 months ago

    I would not personally do it, but I am fortunate enough to incur the costs. However, this is largely in part because I find the conference of such value that I actively budget to accommodate for what is essentially a vacation. Any medical reason or necessity to attend this conference is mitigated by simply speaking with a neurologist. While I…[Read more]

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Managing Bowel Movements in the forum Adults ​With​ ​SMA 3 years, 12 months ago

    I’m late to the party on this posting!

    The way I’ve come to manage this is a bit ridiculous, but works for me. Since I do love to eat, but I know that putting on weight is an issue, I basically allow myself one meal a day – usually around lunch. So if I want a double bacon cheeseburger with large fries, I can justify eating 1200 calories in one…[Read more]

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Looking for information in the forum Spinraza 3 years, 12 months ago

    Hey Lydia – I just wanted to add that I started receiving Spinraza about 3 months ago and I had it done in Philly at Penn. The doctor who administered it was Bryan Pukenas and supposedly he’s one of the best in the world. He’s a really nice guy. I too have a complete fusion (ie luki rods from my neck to butt) and under the guidance of the CT…[Read more]

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic These Celebrity Dads Have Kids With Disabilities in the forum SMA​ ​Parents​ ​and​ ​Caregivers​ 4 years ago

    I only half wish (maybe more like 60-40) that Elon Musk would have a child with a disability just so we can get Tesla Wheelchairs up and running

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Spinraza Labs & Being a "Hard Stick" in the forum Spinraza 4 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve given up having them take samples from my upper forearm area because of the aforementioned reasons. I now only have them take it from the top part of my fist/hand. They tie that rubber strap real tight around my wrist and smack my hand a few times and a vein almost always pops up. Maybe give that a try?

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Internships for Students with Disabilities in the forum Going​ ​To​ ​College​ ​When​ ​You​ ​Have​ ​SMA 4 years, 1 month ago

    I took full advantage of every and all opportunity that became available through my schools disability resource office. Through there summer internships I was able to land a government job almost immediately post-graduation. Although I no longer work for the government (long story), the opportunity was invaluable as the government is one of the…[Read more]

    Alex Telenson replied to the topic Comparing Fatigue Before and After Spinraza in the forum Spinraza 4 years, 1 month ago

    First time posting, long time reader. These forums are great! For sure keep em’ coming (I’ll try and be more active).

    The improvement in the time it takes to fatigue is the largest improvement I’ve noticed since receiving injections. I’ve only had the loading doses, but my energy levels seem what they were when I was younger, which is a blessing…[Read more]
