Meet Elizabeth, our Board President at the Endo Forward Foundation! 💛 In this video, she shares her excitement about where some of the funds raised during NTX Giving Day will go—and it’s all about pushing forward education and awareness for endometriosis. For Elizabeth, this mission is personal. After spending 14 years searching for answers and being told by over 40 doctors that everything she was going through was “normal,” she finally learned the truth—it wasn’t normal, and she had endometriosis. That’s why she knows firsthand how critical it is to spread education and awareness about this disease. With the funds from NTX Giving Day, we’ll be creating educational resources, raising community awareness, and pushing for better care so that no one has to go through what Elizabeth and so many others have endured. Your support is helping us break the cycle of misdiagnosis and misinformation, and it’s changing lives. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we’re making sure every Endo Warrior has the knowledge and care they need. 💛 Donate Here: https://lnkd.in/gfseREfv #northtexasgivingday2024 #endometriosissurgery #endometriosissupport #patientadvocate #endoforwardfoundation #endosupport #nonprofitlife #EffEndo #endometriosiswarrior #nonprofit #endometriosisawareness #makingadifference #youmatter #chronicillnesswarrior #endostrong #dallas #texasnonprofit #dfwnonprofit #austin #austinnonprofit

🧠 Today is #WorldMSADay, a crucial time to raise awareness about a disease with a misdiagnosis rate as high as 20%. ⚕️ Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central and autonomic nervous systems. It causes movement difficulties, balance and coordination issues, and autonomic dysfunction. The disease progresses rapidly, leading to increased disability and often necessitating walking aids. 👁️ A crucial aspect of #MSA is eye movement dysfunction, caused by degeneration in brainstem structures that control eye movements. Diagnosing MSA is particularly challenging: 🩺 MSA is categorized as an atypical parkinsonian syndrome due to its resemblance to Parkinson's disease. It’s frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson's or progressive supranuclear palsy, complicating research efforts across all three conditions. 🩺MSA presents in two distinct forms: MSA-P (parkinsonian type) and MSA-C (cerebellar type), each with unique clinical features, progression rates, and treatment responses. These 2 forms are hard to distinguish. New research highlights the potential of eye movement monitoring to revolutionize MSA diagnosis and care. It offers the ability to: 🔬Improve diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for unnecessary invasive tests 🔬Enhance patient selection for clinical trials, ultimately speeding up the development of new treatments 💪Today, let's raise awareness and work towards better outcomes for those living with MSA.
