LEMS Aware

Welcome to the LEMS Aware Podcast. We’ve been waiting for

you.

My name is Kevin Freiert, and I will be your host.

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, also known as LEMS, is a

rare neuromuscular disease that can have a profound effect on a person's

mobility and quality of life. 

LEMS disrupts the communication between nerves and

muscles.  LEMS typically causes severe debilitating

and progressive weakness in the upper legs and hips, making it difficult for a

person to walk or even stand.

LEMS can also weaken the muscles of the upper arms and

shoulders, making self-care and independence difficult.  Some people with LEMS also experience other

symptoms, such as dry mouth or problems with vision. 

LEMS Aware was created to deliver relevant information,

resources, and connections to patients and caregivers who may be living with or

affected by LEMS.

The LEMS Aware Podcast lets you hear from people in the LEMS

community on topics that matter to you.
