I’m a patient of the NIH. I don’t believe there is anyone else out there with this disease besides my daughter and myself. Has anyone body be diagnosed with APLAID or any form of it?

we have discussed other treatments. Right now after my only treatment my numbers are really good so hopefully I won’t need treatments for awhile.

, wow, I am an avid researcher, and the only information I could find was the information available at the NIH, there was not even any information on APLAID at NORD.
Are they able to provide any treatment for you both? --Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
