For someone who has just been diagnosed with the polyneuropathy of hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, my advice would be to find people in your area that you could talk to, or doctors who can take care of you. There is hope, so keep that in mind.

Sharell, wife and caregiver of someone living with the polyneuropathy of hereditary ATTR amyloidosis
I decided to take TEGSEDI not just for myself but for my family. I hope that now they’ll know what to do with the disease if they experience polyneuropathy caused by hereditary ATTR amyloidosis in the future.
