Will Acoramidis Replace Tafamidis If Approved In The US? Will We Have A Choice?
Anyone See Any Updated Life Expectancy With Tafamidis? Surely Someone Has Updated This Somewhere Since It Has Been In Use For Years Now

good question . I was wondering if anyone had talked to their doctor about switching or if there was a benefit switching if vyndamax is working?
ATTRwt : Has Anyone Verified Hearth Thickness After Using Tafamidis By Echocardiogram Versus The Thickness Before The Therapy?
I think the only way to really understand how much Tafamidis works is by comparing the heath thickness before and after, at least 1 year of therapy. Has anyone got this information?
Sheldon, is the Acoramidis also manufactured by the same company as Tafamidis and Patisiran?
Does Anyone Else Have Balance Issues?
My husband who was diagnosed about a year ago, but who has had symptoms of CATTR for +12years has severe balance issues. Originally they were blamed on vestibular neuritis, but seem to worsen ever more frequently with "bouts" of imbalance and falls. Sometimes there is LOC, other times he is just soooo tired that he falls down. Drs seem to just shake their heads and seem to imply it is a separate issue
Has anyone else ever had inner ear nerve damage attributed to the amyloidosis?
I had a stroke in Cerebellum that I thought was cause of balance issues ( don’t know when), but I think it may be related. Had gotten worse lately. I have CM ATTR so it may have triggered the stroke.
