General Management of Mitochondrial Disease

I found a fabulous resource today while I was researching yet another issue regarding mito and my daughter. Mitoaction has a Clinician’s Guide on their website which is a wonderful resource for the patient, caregiver or medical professional. The guide is totally on their site and different sections are easily accessed by clicking on them. You even have an option to print the page/section you are reading as you go along.

For me, I think its a great resource for parents of mito kids. Read the guide and print out sections that deal with issues your child is dealing with and take them to their doctor(s). While the guide is a wonderful resource for primary care physicians, I think that specific sections would be very valuable to take to a specialist’s appointment – if for nothing else than to have a starting point on many difficult topics or to give you ideas for questions to ask.

I urge you to look at it and pass it on – the link, this blog post, or printed pages – to anyone and everyone that comes into contact with your child. There is even a printout for dealing with mito in school! That’s something EVERY mito parent should print, pass out, and hold onto!
