Hear adults living with FCS share their experiences with TRYNGOLZA

I've always had this tendency to run away from my problems.

FCS has been such an unknown for me. I was told there was never going to be a medication that was going to work for me. I just didn't want to face the scariness of the future.

I was diagnosed with FCS when I was a baby. I had a real limited but safe diet.

We certainly weren't experimenting eaters. My mom found out angel food cake was fat-free, so that's the one I had for every occasion.

When I was in middle school my friends were saying well just have a french fry. And trying it for the first time it's like wow that tastes really good, but I would get a good stomach ache.

The first time that I really suffered is when I was pregnant with my daughter and I got pancreatitis attacks. I was hospitalized multiple times.

I was in a lot of pain. That was a really, really difficult time. But I thought, I've got a daughter now. And I was resolved to double down on all my efforts to be as healthy as I can for somebody else.

As the years progressed, no matter how hard I tried, my triglyceride levels would just rise higher and higher. It was frustrating. I would do all that I could and there was this thing that was happening that was out of my control. The thing that gets me the most is, I really, really want to show up for people.

But I wasn't myself anymore. I stopped making plans. I stopped being reliable. I just kind of wanted to run away.

Fast forward, my doctor told me that there was this promising trial.

I never even had it in my head that that was a possibility.

In the trial, they put me on TRYNGOLZA, which is a prescription medicine for adults with FCS that you take along with your diet to lower your triglycerides. In the clinical trial, for people taking TRYNGOLZA, their triglycerides were lowered by 43%.

My doctor talked to me about the potential side effects of taking TRYNGOLZA.

While I didn't experience any side effects, others may be different. They should talk to their doctor about side effects that may occur with treatment.

I'm thrilled to be able to show up for my people. My family and my friends have all been on this journey with me and they've been so incredibly supportive. It just feels really powerful that I can reliably give back. 

I just give myself an injection once a month and now that I have a lower triglyceride level, I don't worry about getting pancreatitis.

I feel like I'm just really running confidently towards my future.

With TRYNGOLZA, I can be in control.
