Can A 23 Year Old Take The At Home Drug For SMA?

A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭
Madison, WI

My son is almost 23 and an SMA Type 1. He has not wanted to do the spinraza but we are interested in the at home drug but not sure if people his age have taken it and what the outcomes have been. Any info would be much appreciated!

I've been on Spinraza since 2018. I feel it's the best for me. But you should ask the neurologist. Even seek out a second opinion. I'm sure this wasn't the answer you were looking for.

Tremors And SMA Type 3

A mySMAteam Member asked a question 💭
Phoenix, AZ

My doctor believes I have SMA Type 3. Recently, I have discovered I have tremors. I think I've always had them, but didn't pay attention to them, blowing them off due to being hungry. However, I've also noticed that I have them when I'm not hungry. I don't always have them and they are not violent, but are annoying at times. 😆
Is this one of the many symptoms of SMA Type 3?

Zdravo, tudi jaz imam SMA tip3, pa nimam tresenja. Razen osteoporoze nimam posebnih problemov. Le pogumno.
