Currently I’m working on a clinical trial phase 3 for the treatment of FOP, I have never been so proud of my job even though I went through many hard times but at the end it’s worthy!

[@paboland_]

[@wrestlingfan2024]

God bless you.

[@dyawr]

Oh my God, congratulations! Godspeed 🙏

[@lildebbie997]

God bless the patients, mothers, fathers and physicians fighting this diagnosis.

[@directioner2870]

Watching this makes me cry, those people are so amazing and strong. My heart broke when the parents explained their children's condition. I hope they have a nice day everyday.

[@brooklyntitiyani5418]

[@DavidKehley]

Watching this makes me want to cry I feel so bad for all these people with FOP god bless that doctor for all his research

[@nathaliegaud3593]

As a mother with a child disability I know what you guys are going through stay strong and I am praying 🙏

[@c.joyceb.8991]

This is horrible. Very hard to see your child go through this disease, the parents and Josh must be so strong.

[@wrestlingfan2024]

Please, Father God, give scientists and doctors the wisdom and knowledge to find a cure as soon as possible so that these people do not have to suffer anymore. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[@kieranfallon818]

How do I contact them

[@topscream8840]

It's even rarer though, if it would be rarity of 1 of 2 000 000, there would be at least 4 000 in the world, but there are about just 700 known cases

[@DeeZnuts-to2bp]

That figure was based of the USA smart ass

[@topscream8840]

Dee Znuts Damn, someones having a rough day, especially based on the fact i posted that comment 5 months ago, but still you just want to be a bitch about it

[@dyawr]

Key word is 'known'. They figured this rate based on how prevalent it is in the US & other developed countries (with good record-keeping & quality health services), probably. Bc a lot of doctors in rural areas, for example, prob wouldn't even know how to diagnose this disease or think of it at all...

[@ayshaaqib9722]

I m from Pakistan and my 5 year girl also have FOP. I. Wish to have all of these wheel chair like equipments for her.but it is not possible in this country.

[@fishyfishy7148]

Is fop happen when we are born if we do have it

[@onetwocue]

You have it. It's a genetic disease. It's not a mutation like down syndrome or getting cancer from tobacco use. Its kinda like being born with blonde hair. It's genetics.

[@fishyfishy7148]

@@onetwocue no I meant does it happen when your born I don't have it I'm just asking

[@uknownevilhero5918]

@@fishyfishy7148 it can happen at any age, some get it when their born, some get it when their a different age, like 17. It can happen at anytime.

How are some kids diagnosed so much later than others?

[@someonefinds2731]

Some kids just have the FOP triggered later than others and it's hard to know what makes it flare up bc every case is a little different. Hope this helps!!

[@njsmkmmsthatsit3518]

Oh what a horrible disease.

[@DennisM-wp7jt]

And people still believe in god folk. Let that sink in. They worship a man who creates a world were such things are possible.
