Dojolvi 100% Liquid Oral Soln has been a game-changer for those with long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD). For two years now, I've been taking it daily and I can't imagine living without it. But it's not without its risks. I've experienced some pretty nasty side effects. I also worry about what might happen if I miss a dose or don't take it correctly. I've heard some horror stories from other people with LC-FAOD, and it has me wondering if the benefits of Dojolvi outweigh the risks? What have your experiences been like? I'd love to hear from others who have been on this medication for a while. I didn't know anyone with LC-FAOD before my diagnosis. If you're new to this, it's a rare genetic disorder that makes it hard for your body to use fat for energy. Dojolvi is a special kind of oil that helps your body get the energy it needs in a different way. But it's not just me, and it’s not just us – others I’ve met are having serious issues. I’m hoping we can all help each other by sharing our experiences, good or bad. I’d love to hear anything you have to say – no experience too small! Please share any tips or tricks you’ve learned along the way – whether it’s how to take the medication or how to handle the side effects. Or even just your daily struggles and victories – I want to know it all. As for all the negative stuff – let’s talk about that too. I want to know about any issues you’ve had – from nasty side effects to problems with insurance. Let’s help each other out.
