    My sister was diagnosed with this during the early 90s. We watched her go from a came to crutches to a scooter and then to a wheelchair and then a power wheelchair. They had clinical trials where she would go into the university of Washington Hospital and get an IV infusion. It really started helping her, but unfortunately her heart was too damaged by them and she did pass away at 54. This woman is incredibly lucky to still be walking.

      Thank you. I am blessed. I was diagnosed at age 53 and started receiving infusions right away, so it has helped me tremendously. Every patient's journey is different.

    Pompe disease is new to me. I’m glad of this opportunity to learn about it. Sandra is a true joy, a ray of light. I’m glad to know a little about her, too. She is so much more than a woman dealing with disease.

      Cynthia, I'd just like to add, I have a friend who has MS and some mistakenly assume that I have it as well. Different diseases, but our challenges are all the same.
