“I got this call from my brother Stephen, and he said the news doesn’t look good. At that point, he’d been through enough processes to know what that meant – he had ALS. So I began this journey with my brother and my family…. We were thinking there had to be a way to make this about the patient. But it started like everyone else. You get that phone call, and your life changes.” – Jamie Heywood, Co-Founder
Recently, we launched a new and improved About Us page that included a short video about our company history. Now, we’re pleased to unveil a longer, more in-depth video that allows you to hear our founding story from four PatientsLikeMe executives and learn what drew each of them to become a part of our groundbreaking concept.
Tune in below to hear where it all started and why, five years later, we’re committed to continuing the journey we’re all on – as a company, as patients and as family members of those affected by disease.

While asleep in the warm vegas weather I almost nightly am awakened by petite mal seizures as i experience a FEAR that tomorrow will not come I fight through the battle to overlook the easy way out and let give in to this terrible feeling but obviously the fear that I will not awaken from this uncertain future I get up walk to the fridge take a fresh grapefruit and cut 1/4 slice before i have completely ingested it I can feel the miraculous relief that I am back to NORMAL and have energy to boot. Any comments or other types of experiences like this? Works for me maybe if I took it B$ I went to bed I would not have this problem? I shall try it starting tonight and let you know..
