ULTRA ACT FOR RARE DISEASES 2012

A QUICK READInformation on the ULTRA ACT now be addressed in congress. You can easily vote.The Unlocking Lifesaving Treatments for Rare diseases Act of 2012, or ULTRA, H.R. 3737, will improve access to the FDA's Accelerated Approval process for very rare diseases, provide a more predictable regulatory process, bring down development costs, and spur investment in the development of treatments. Additionally, ULTRA requires the FDA to use the best science available, ensuring treatments are safe and effective and reach patients sooner. With the introduction of ULTRA, the EveryLife Foundation will begin to build Congressional support for this important legislation. Most importantly, we thank Representatives Stearns and Towns for their leadership and support of the rare disease community.

NEVER GIVE UP - EVER

I'm excited to share the good news.

This morning I received a call from my oncologist telling me that my blood test for Cryoglobulinemia Vasculitis came back NEGATIVE.  This means that the LAB TEST was unable to detect any Cryoglobulins in my blood. It does not mean there aren't any. It does mean they have reduced enough to give me a negative reading. And that is great news.  I actually have had 3 incredibly awesome weeks and I feel like my body is getting stronger and healthier. I still don't know what tomorrow will bring with all the complications but for today I finally  have made progress after living with constant fear for the last 3 years and living like I was dying.

Never ever did I feel I would think about tomorrow.
Never did I think I would see normalcy of any kind.
Never did I think I would see joy in my husbands eyes.
Never did I think my body could recover.

So today I offer you a RAY OF HOPE for wherever you are on your journey

Never ever give up.

Home

I been lost again for the last year because I've been sick. New symptoms, no answers, more weakness. I'm inside my house more than not because of my Rare Disease Cryoglobulinemia Vasculitis. Cold weather causes my blood to jell causing life threatening complications. People like me need support and answers why there aren't more things being done for Rare Diseases. One out of every ten Americans has a Rare disease and 75% of us is a child. Be Aware. Please watch.
