I've been reading up on Exondys 51, the new treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) that helps produce a functional version of dystrophin. Has anyone here had experience with this medication? I'd love to hear about the effectiveness and any side effects you or someone you know has encountered. Did it make a significant difference in muscle strength progression? Any tips on managing side effects would be appreciated as well.

Make sure you report any side effects to the FDA. They need to know how common these issues are so they can help improve the treatment for everyone else.

Be aware of the serious side effects like allergic reactions and changes in balance. I had a friend who had to stop the treatment because of severe chest pain. Make sure you talk to your doctor about any concerns.

I started Exondys 51 a few months ago, and while it's helped, I've had some issues with nausea and headaches. Anyone else experience this?

I’m glad there are treatments out there that can help produce dystrophin. It’s a game changer for those with DMD.

Any tips on managing the headaches and nausea? I'm thinking about trying Exondys 51, but I'm a bit worried about the side effects.
