Dear all, following Gunnhild Lystad’s suggestion, yesterday afternoon I have created a Facebook group dedicated to sharing info and experiences about Etravirine. The group is currently closed, not public. In order to be admitted new members have to respond to three questions during the subscription process. Those of you who are already on FB and would like to join the “Etravirine for FA” group can go to this link:
https://m.facebook.com/groups/2601479636546565?ref=share
Normally, if I didn’t make any mistake, before seeing any posts and participating you should be requested to subscribe. Please let me know if everything is ok.
Also, since this will be an international group, posts will be preferably in English, but as it happens in the BabelFAmily FB group, all languages can be used and translations from English are welcome.
This new FB group is open to those people who are interested about the use of Etravirine for FA and also to the patients or caregivers who want to share their experience with it.
All participants make a commitment not to share the discussion or information content without the consent of the person who made the comment or shared the information.
We welcome good discussions about all sides of a topic, but remember to be friendly and polite. Hurtful intents, bullying and scaremongering are not welcome and will automatically lead to be blocked and banned from the group. -
Last and very encouraging update from Ilva’s blog. Must read.

An interesting observation I just read in Dr. Testi’s study:
”Importantly, we did not observe any correlation between the efficacy of etravirine and the presence or lenghth of GAA repeats.”
Before reading it I feared that Etravirine might work well only in people with a low number of triplets. Now I feel more confident that also patients with many triplets can benefit from Etravirine. -
This is what a participant from Spain in his fourties and with LOFA said today in our whatsapp chat group dedicated to Etravirine:
“The most relevant effects I am feeling after one month and two days on Etravirine are: excess energy, better control of posture and more agility.”

Sorry Sandrina,
I mistakenly read March 12 instead of April 12…

Hi Shandra,
this blog and the WhatsApp chat group are not in competition. They are complementary. No doubt any relevant update regarding Etravirine for FA patients will be shared here as well.
