One day on the court in 2022, a seizure dropped 6-foot-8-inch Parker to the floor. Watch: Back to basketball after… Comprehensive testing leads to targeted treatment for rare autoimmune encephalitis antibodyWhat started as a persistent headache for Spencer Lodin soon devolved into slowed speech, seizures, and hallucinations, symptoms which stumped ER doctors into thinking he had meningitis or was suffering from psychosis. Finally, specialized testing at Mayo Clinic identified Spencer's condition as GFAP-IgG associated autoimmune encephalitis, which allowed for targeted treatment and a full recovery. It was April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, when Spencer Lodin, 37, a mail carrier from the Twin… POTS patient now working where she was diagnosedWhen Jenna Rose started experiencing frequent fainting episodes and other unusual symptoms, she put high school on pause and came to Mayo Clinic seeking answers. Nine years later, Jenna joined Mayo Clinic to help patients like her get on the path to healing. Jan. 6, 2015, started like any other day for Jenna Rose, but it ended as anything but ordinary. A high-school junior at the time, Jenna was in the middle of art class… Specialized testing helps reverse effects of stiff-person syndromeJames and his wife Stephanie In July of 2018, James Kypuros woke up to find his toes clenched and claw-like, as if fisted. “It was a little bit weird walking this way, because you didn't have that balance of your toes extended,” recalls the 76-year-old Cedar Lake, Indiana resident. That summer marked the beginning of a host of debilitating symptoms that would defy significant treatment response until James came to Mayo Clinic, where specialized testing… To sip a cola: Patsy Weber's goal for rehab from rare diseasePatsy Weber's condition had healthcare professionals at her local clinic and a regional medical center stumped. In June 2021, she went from being so healthy that she had only taken a handful of sick days during her 40 years working at a bank in Sheldon, Iowa, to not being able to get out of bed. For about two weeks, Patsy had been coping with mysterious symptoms that included morning headaches that would disappear by the… A graduation party reunion 15 years in the makingWhen Cadence Rohrbaugh sent out invitations to her high school graduation party earlier this year, she tucked personal notes into a few special envelopes. "Dear Dr. Wirrell," Cadence wrote in one. "Thank you so much for helping me and my family through one of the most difficult times ever. Without your care, I would not be alive, healthy and graduating with honors." Fifteen years earlier, Elaine Wirrell, M.D., had been part of a team that cared… Seeking, and finding, answers, comfort, and hopeAs someone affected by a rare, incurable disease, Joe Mondloch and his wife Sue are always on the lookout for new information. The autoimmune neurological condition Joe lives with has left him blind in one eye, physically disabled, and poses an ongoing threat for further damage. Called MOGAD, which stands for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated-antibody disease, the rare, immune-mediated illness has been present in Joe’s life since February 2016, when, at the age of 55,… My DBS experienceBy Jan Kary I was 60 at the time. Trying to take a photo. My hand was shaking so much I couldn’t hold my phone still to capture a picture. “I’m just nervous,” I thought to myself. The same experience happened again and again. “It’s just stress; I just need a good night’s sleep, and everything will be fine,” I concluded. Over the years, my hands began shaking so much in handling utensils, a glass… Dad walks daughter down the aisle despite ALSPaul Wennmacher and his daughter Tabetha Paul Wennmacher calls his daughter Tabetha "my backbone."

Alexa Lofaro was in her happy place, inside Nassau Veteran's Memorial Collesium in Uniondale, New York, watching the New York Islanders play hockey. As she made her way to her seat, another fan’s words caught her off-guard. “As I walked by him, he said, ‘Get home safely,’” Alexa says. “He thought I was drunk.
