When a child is diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease, the family begins a journey they may never have prepared for.

When a child is diagnosed with a “neuromuscular disease,” the family has to start walking a path they may never have prepared for — from the first doubts about the child’s development, to testing, waiting for results, treatment, and entering the long-term care system.

In FEND Friends Talk EP.1, we invite “Nong Toon,” a nurse at the Neuromuscular Disease Center, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, to talk about what families face — including another important topic: “caring for the caregiver.”

Because a neuromuscular disease is no one’s fault, and care is a long journey that the child and the family walk together, step by step.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What first made the family suspect something
  • The path of testing and waiting for results
  • The day the diagnosis arrived
  • Treatment and the care system
  • Supporting parents and caregivers
