Why DM Patients Pay Way More for Healthcare

Just learned that people with myotonic dystrophy (DM) in the US are hit with way higher healthcare bills than others—like, $32k a year! They’re more likely to end up in the ER or hospital, especially right after diagnosis. The wild part? It often takes YEARS to get diagnosed because symptoms are all over the place. If doctors caught it earlier, costs (and stress) could drop big time. Makes you wonder how many folks are out there struggling without answers. #HealthCosts #MyotonicDystrophy #RareDisease #Healthcare #MedicalAwareness #Health
