This Podcast from the annual NAF Meeting in Las Vegas, March, 2019 features Gil L’Italien, PhD, Head of GHEOR and Epidemiology and Melissa Wolfe Beiner, MD, Director of Research and Development and Ataxia Medical Lead, both from Biohaven Pharmaceuticals. They are with us to highlight some important and encouraging new data from an expanded analysis of their data from their first clinical trial of troriluzole in SCA patients. This clinical trial was the first registrational trial in SCA patients in the United States. In addition, they will discuss a new clinical trial, which is beginning this month at sites across the country, studying troriluzole in SCA patients with a new study design, optimized from data from their initial study, as well as data from the US Natural History Study. This work reflects a collaboration between Biohaven and numerous experts in the ataxia field across the country.
Andrew Rosen Announced as Executive Director #kNOwATAXIA "I am honored to be joining the strong team at NAF, and look forward to building on the work that has impacted so many people with Ataxia since the organization was founded in 1957. Research supported by NAF continues to make progress in the search for treatments and an eventual cure for #Ataxia. It is a pivotal time for the Ataxia community, and I will be focused on accelerating NAF's growth in the coming years."

Hi #kNOwATAXIA Nation! Happy #thoughtfultuesday. Today, I’m sharing a podcast I did with my good friend Kyle Bryant. I was able to get a few minutes with him in Las Vegas at the Annual Ataxia Conference. Listen in as we talk about Kyle’s new book, Shifting Into High Gear and learn about his motivation for writing it. I think you’ll really enjoy hearing Kyle’s story. We discuss the rollercoaster of emotions experienced with the diagnosis of a rare disease, the impact this diagnosis has on the family, the importance of becoming an expert in that disease, the road to acceptance (not always a straight line) and the realization that your involvement can make an impact. Please enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments below. iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/k... SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/user-536040137...

Dana Mauro shares 5 tips that will help you get the most from your first Ataxia Conference.
So this medical binder is a little bit different than the medical journal we talked about last week In the journal you’re documenting how you’re feeling, any changes that you’re seeing, any set back in your progress, or any difficulties or new symptoms that you may be having….. Those are the things that you’re documenting The medical binder is a collection of any kind of tests that you’ve had, any kind of notes from a doctor, hospital notes, any kind of imaging results…. So it’s all your medical information in one place. And i want to show you mine… So this is what my medical binder looks like.. It’s not the prettiest thing but you guys can make these however you want, you can really get creative with these…. Let me show you inside...inside this medical binder, I have mine tabbed out, so you can see here that it’s all tabbed and what’s contained in each tab is all the information for that year. So mine is kept in chronological order by year and it’s all the information about John since he’s been diagnosed with Ataxia. So You can see it’s getting quite thick. I’m probably going to end up with multiple of these and if that happens i’ll just date them. I’ll put the date here or on the spine so that when i’m looking at the notebook I can pick the right one What this is so awesome for is that now all of your information is in one spot. So when you go to the doctor you can take your medical binder and your medical journal and be out the door And then you can answer any question that your doctor might have and you don’t have to keep everything up here anymore, you know that was the biggest relief for me I thought that it was very difficult to recall things when the doctor was asking and give the doctor the most accurate information so with the binder i feel that that really helps me I would encourage you guys to consider it. I love it I think it has really helped to keep me organized and it has helped me to give the doctor all the information that they need to know Now something else i want to mention……. Actually 2 things I want to mention 1 is within each of the tabs i have a cover sheet which is a summary of everything in that tab and then i also create a summary sheet for the entire notebook so that i list out all the tabs and then all the information within those tabs This helps me find things quickly when I’m at the doctors appointments. Say for instance that the doctor says when was the last cat scan? I quickly look at my summary sheet see when it was and if the doctor wants to know the results of that I simply go to that tab and pull out the results sheet So again, please consider it, and leave your comments you know do you think that this is a good idea, are you already doing this and are there things that you’re doing that I haven’t mentioned….. If there are, please leave them in the comments because we can all benefit from that, we can all learn from that Have a great rest of your day….. Enjoy your Tuesday and I’ll see you guys on Wednesday And don’t forget to like our page so you can get all the latest updates and all the latest did you know videos

Research is at a pivotal time for Ataxia – with one medication in clinical trial and more in the pipeline. We received 84 applications for Ataxia research grants this year! Work with us to get as many of them funded as possible. We want to give researchers the support that they need, so that they can look for the answers that we need. Join NAF’s 2017 Research Drive!
