Thanks to @RepMikeLevin for cosponsoring the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, bipartisan legislation that raises outdated #SSI asset limits to $10k/person & 20k/couple - indexed to inflation moving forward. Support the bill 👉: votervoice.net/MDA/Campaigns…

If you’re located in the US, these are a few of the unused, consumable respiratory supplies that are FREE to those who live with an NMD (no other condition qualifies), and are in need. See inventory at breathewithmd.org/supplies-p…. #BreathingMuscleWeakness #NeuromuscularDisease

Has your Neuromuscular Disease care team included lung volume recruitment, also known as breath or air stacking, into your care plan? If not, ask them about it. #BreathingMuscleWeakness #MuscularDystrophy #NeuromuscularDisease

We hear it frequently from adults, “I had no idea my breathing was affected.” You are not alone! It’s important to be closely followed by a NMD care team that can help you proactively evaluate and treat respiratory muscle weakness. #BreathingMuscleWeakness #NeuromuscularDisease
