<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2363720/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Over and over I hear from patients that prior to diagnosis they knew something was wrong. No matter what the doctor said or what they saw in the test results, something was just not right. In today’s episode we’ll be talking about that feeling patients can have, their sense that something is wrong, and how that is an important motivator to keep searching for answers. I’m happy to have Dan, a fellow AL amyloidosis patient, with me to talk about patients’ “sixth sense.” For an overview of amyloidosis, please see episode 2 (for clinicians) or episode 3 (for patients).

I Knew Something Was Wrong

Hi everyone!&nbsp; My name is Mackenzie and I was diagnosed with AL amyloidosis at age 23. We don’t know the cause of this disease, but we do know that it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening issues. This disease has changed me and my life in so many ways, and as a result, I founded Mackenzie’s Mission to join the fight against this disease. Part of our effort is to raise awareness which, we believe, will accelerate diagnosis, enable earlier treatment, and improve patient lives. We do this in several ways, including our “All Things Amyloid” podcast. In our episodes, we will speak with patients and caregivers about their journey on a wide array of topics. We will also hear from amyloidosis experts about the medical side of this disease.&nbsp; There is more hope for patients than ever before, and raising awareness around the globe is critical to improving patient lives. If you want to learn more about the work we’re doing at Mackenzie’s Mission, please visit mm713.org. Thanks for listening!
