Who comes up with this shit???? I remember being asked to make up two diseases which was stupid and didn't have nothing to do with nothing, cuz the only thing I am seeing is people starving themselves to death by not eating, cthey can't sleep at night and need hard core opiods for knocking them out for sleep especially fetanol and are willing to get surgery to get a sleeping fix!

Hi 👋 how long did it take for you to get a diagnosis on what you had? I had a muscle biopsy done last January and I'm still waiting for the results but I think I could have LGMD
This drug is so expensive.Is not ok it should be offered to those that need it because is such a rare desease and who can afford to pay 2,1million$?
Is this the same abbot that wanted a kid to jerk it in front of him for "evidence"
❤
thank you for making this! I am 15 and we recently discovered I have LGMD due to genetics (I’ve had it for a while but we didn’t know until it started affecting my hips as well). I genuinely appreciate you making this video!
Thank you for covering Pompe disease. Being rare means very little information, so this is very much appreciated. John Foxwell is a leading light for Pompe Disease in the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Hi one of my cousin also got same issue. Is there any treatment cure which doctor to visit we have met Neuro Ortho spine rhumeto etc. also saw a video where people with such condition get to worst in few years is it correct? How to prevent that
Please remember no one is perfect I use this method for my whole life
Hello Karen my name is Danny, I’m a 43 year old with lgmd I have 3 kids 2 boys and 1 girl Brad Shane and Zoe. I live with lgmg for a long time since I was born but I have to say you are a great person doing this.
The best tip or advice I got & please bare with me, I might not say it as well as they did. But here goes. “ as our condition deteriorates & sadly we will lose things, physical abilities we rely on & cherish. Give yourself permission to grieve for the loss & then pull yourself together & try & see the funny side of it” it’s not always easy, but your entitled to a grieving period for the ability you can no longer do, like losing an old friend. Sadly we can often spiral into punishing ourselves for “feeling sorry for ourself, when we know others have it worse”. But that’s not a healthy. You are entitled to grieve, its healthy process. The only thing those of us with MD can try & control, is how we view our conditions. Positivity isn’t always easy, but as my consultant said “it’s the only control we have & is priceless in the way we deal with the losses & pains we will have” all the best ❤
"My right hand side is wasting away, and my left is as it has been for 20 years." I felt that one.

A useful range of views. Creatin does, in my experience, help with general muscle weakness in OPMD but has the effect of raising resting heart rate. So, it should be taken with care and maybe at a reduced dosage from the manufacturers recommended daily intake. As for a way forward with the condition; it would be useful if clinicians had awareness of the possible progression of the disease. Generally, in my view, they are happy to diagnose and then ignore until there is a crisis. On the topic of genetic counseling; I was only offered this after diagnosis which seemed to me to indicate a lack of understanding by the clinicians involved.
Just found out that I have CMT. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO.
I have CMT Type 1A. I got diagnosed at age 11 and I'm 38 now. Had my first surgery to straighten my foot and ankle. :)
God bless them! I wish cure for this disease will soon be discovered
Has a son called Dylan and a daughter called Ella

Hello sir i have lgmd, but I don't know which type. please suggest which test I have do
Thanks
Well done to everyone x
I just watched the seminar and I find the BB-301 very promising for all the ones that we suffer of OPMD. My question is: in the US and Canada are already recruiting candidates to start the trials in humans. Will trials take place too in the EU? If so, where will they take place? I live in NL and I would like to volunteer. I am aware that in the US and Canada are a lot of people with OPMD but I have the feeling that we are also quite a lot of people affected in EU, the only issue is that a lot of people affected in EU are not officially diagnosed…
Hi Monica, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Benitec Biopharma who are running the study released this statement within a press release re expansion of the clinical trials "We continue to work with regulators globally to open additional sites in geographies outside of the United States."

Fatigue is tired, it’s not sleepiness
Hello, that is correct there are different definitions for fatigue and sleepiness as outlined at the beginning of Dr Hilton-Jones talk. If you require support with either fatigue or excessive daytime sleepiness as a result of living with a muscle-wasting condition and would like support or further information then please contact our helpline on 0800 652 6352 or email on [email protected]
HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?
Hi Amrith, Becker muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition - it is caused by a mutation or mistake in the genetic code (DNA). In Becker muscular dystrophy, the mutation occurs in a gene called dystrophin, which is located on the X-chromosome. Dystrophin is important to maintain the integrity of the muscles, so when it is smaller or less abundant than normal, the muscle fibres gradually break down and the muscles slowly become weaker. For more information please see our website: www.musculardystrophyuk.org/conditions/becker-muscular-dystrophy
