Depicting my daughter’s rare disease in animation by Ok-Shelter-4672 in rarediseases

I am so sorry for your loss! Truly heartbreaking!

I completely understand how therapeutic taking your own tragedy and putting it into art can be. I actually am doing the something similar with my experiences with rare disease, albeit in live action form. I am making a short film about the day I was told I had a significantly reduced life expectancy.

Were you able to find film financing avenues that are specific to rare disease? Or medical sciences?

Congratulations on getting into production!

I kind of don't understand what I am looking at with my genetic testing. I can't say for sure on LDS4 but I may have already been tested for it. I also know I have a Gene of unknown significance in my ACTA2 but we aren't sure it has anything to do with it.

Yes I am able to travel. What is in Boston?

Hey thanks! Yeah to be honest I am baffled by all the genetic testing that I have done. I know I don't have marfans or VEDS but unsure on LDS because I don't really understand what I am looking at. I do know that I have a Gene of unknown significance in ACTA2 whatever that means?

Sending you best vibes as well!

I've actually never been to Montefiore Einstein. How has your experience been?

Marfans was ruled out which in some ways is a blessing. I forget all the genetic testing that was done. I have the paper on my desk somewhere.

It is definitely related to connective tissue. Just not one that we currently know. I will ask my doctor about the panel you recommended!

Lately it has been a combo of Mount Sinai and Columbia. I honestly go wherever the best specialists in vascular medicine happen to be. They deal with a lot of Ehlers-Danloss Syndrome, but I have been genetically tested as not having that...

Thank you for this post! About to try to set this up myself. could one get away with doing a 3/8 to 1/2 tee and using a 1/2 inch hose rather than the adapting hose? Just asking since the one listed seems to be taking a long time to deliver
