My nephew has it. It is incurable and there are few ppl in the world with it. It's horrible, painful and life shortening.

(17,244 posts)So sorry to hear that your nephew has this condition. Will he be participating in the trials that you are mentioning here?

(17,258 posts)He has pretty much NO mobility and 'sits' reclined in a specially designed chair.
I do know that he's going to Florida to meet some researchers and Drs and others who are afflicted with the disease.
Thank you for your kind words.
