On this episode of the LEMS Aware podcast, we are joined by Karyn. Karyn first started feeling her symptoms of LEMS 24 years ago, but wasn’t diagnosed until 2013. Living with her disease for almost 12 years before receiving her diagnosis helped her adapt to life in new ways, become more comfortable in her condition and gave her time to accept that a new normal is okay. Karyn’s frequent moves throughout her life, as well as her career as a social worker, enabled her to see her abilities and how they have changed as part of her life but not what defined her life.
