How Do You Communicate?
A mySMAteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Cause I use a special communication device called a Dynavox & when I don't have my Dynavox I communicate through eye signals or little vocal murmurs. My Dynavox is almost like an IPAD & I access it by tapping a little switch & it scans through buttons until I select the button that I want.Here's a photo of me with my Dynavox πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

I Am Not Sure If This Where To Ask
A mySMAteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I am hurting all over but mostly my hands. I have never had my hands hert so badly. Is there any where in the Phoenix Valley that can give a massage for this type of MD.

Does Risdiplam Cause Constipation Or Acidic Stools?
A mySMAteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

My daughter has been dealing with constipation lately. Wasn’t sure if it is Risdiplam related or not. When she does poop and it’s soft it burns her bottom. She will get a raw butt quick. Any suggestions on how to help soften her stool? She turned one in December. She can eat soft solid foods by mouth and drink liquids by mouth. We have a gtube but do not currently use it.
