About All Things Amyloid

Hi everyone! My name is Mackenzie and I was diagnosed with AL amyloidosis at age 23. We don’t know the cause of this disease, but we do know that it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening issues. This disease has changed me and my life in so many ways, and as a result, I founded Mackenzie’s Mission to join the fight against this disease. Part of our effort is to raise awareness which, we believe, will accelerate diagnosis, enable earlier treatment, and improve patient lives. We do this in several ways, including our “All Things Amyloid” podcast. In our episodes, we will speak with patients and caregivers about their journey on a wide array of topics. We will also hear from amyloidosis experts about the medical side of this disease. There is more hope for patients than ever before, and raising awareness around the globe is critical to improving patient lives. If you want to learn more about the work we’re doing at Mackenzie’s Mission, please visit mm713.org. Thanks for listening!

   What ‘clues’ can PM&R providers watch for to suspect Amyloidosis?

   Send us Fan Mail Amyloidosis is a great masquerader, presenting with a wide array of seemingly unconnected symptoms. This reality is likely one of the biggest reasons for Amyloidosis being mis- and under-diagnosed. Patients often go years, seeing specialist after specialist, searching for answers. Thankfully our knowledge of this disease has rapidly advanced over the last decade, and there are now multiple FDA-approved treatments. We just need to get patients diagnosed, and the sooner t...
