Coffee Breaks are regional education events, hosted by a Patient Access Liaison (PAL), where patients with LEMS and caregivers can learn about different topics relevant to their disease. Coffee Breaks are held live whenever possible or via a Zoom call when necessary. It’s also a great way to connect with other patients in an informal setting.Copy linkCopied!

Contact your PAL for more information.

Our Patient Ambassador Program enables patients to participate in live local events and live webcasts with LEMS ambassadors, who share their stories about facing and overcoming the challenges of living with LEMS. Patients can interact with one another and receive additional information on topics pertinent to the LEMS patient community.Copy linkCopied!

For more information, call 1-855-697-3961 or visit www.RealLifeWithLEMS.com.

I didn’t know anyone who had LEMS, so it was good to connect with someone who has that experience.
