Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon, is battling a rare muscular disease called FSHD2 and is pouring $100 million into finding a cure. Despite being diagnosed in 1987 and maintaining an active lifestyle for years, he's now facing tougher challenges with his mobility. Not just sitting back, Wilson's launched Solve FSHD, aiming for a cure by 2027, and he's also exploring various experimental treatments to manage his condition.

There are ways to manage these side effects, like trying different medications or adding others to the mix, and even 'drug holidays', though they need careful handling.
