More Laughter, More Love: Reflections on an inter-abled relationship

Podcast

Loving someone with FSHD means loving someone through constant change, a path that Leah & Joe have traveled together since they met in 8th grade. Despite coming from a family with FSHD, Joe faced a long diagnostic journey filled with uninformed and misinformed care providers, leading the couple to do their own research with considerable trial and error. In this episode they discuss the importance of community support, how to adapt, supplements and vitamins, why you need to hydrate, and so much more. Married for 15 years and together for 20, Leah & Joe’s partnership proves their philosophy: when living in an inter-abled relationship, what you really need is more laughter and more love.

The REACH Phase 3 clinical trial, conducted by Fulcrum Therapeutics, aimed to evaluate the efficacy of losmapimod in treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Despite promising results in earlier phases, the trial did not meet its primary endpoint, leading to the discontinuation of the program in September 2024. The recent post-mortem analysis of Fulcrum Therapeutics’ Phase 3 REACH clinical trial, presented by Dr. Jeffrey Statland, offers valuable insights into the challenges and future directions in treating FSHD. Despite the trial’s early termination due to not meeting its primary endpoint, the findings contribute significantly to the understanding of FSHD and the development of potential therapies.
