"My right hand side is wasting away, and my left is as it has been for 20 years." I felt that one.

Wow. I thought my family was the only one for a long while. My mother has this along with three of her brothers. It's heartbreaking to watch my mother live with this, but she's one hell of a trooper. My grandmother (her mother) and my great-grandmother suffered from it as well so it's been a big part of my family for a few generations. Thanks for creating the video and sharing your story. Your attitude is an example for us all. I hope for substantial medical advancements in regard to M.D. Be well brother.

Me and my twin brother have also Myotonic Dystrophy 1 but we share the same mindset as him, we do anything we can and as best as we can, we can do anything not as fast or as good but we manage it.

How is your friend health after 5 years?

Great video. As a hormone doctor, I would also add that it's important also to screen for cardiac disease and low testosterone (hypogonadism) in patients with muscular dystrophy!

@Testo-Frede 3 года назад

got 50% chance i got DM2, my testorsterone is 37 and has to be between 250-700. Will taking testorsterone do more harm to my body if i got DM2? im pretty muscular and 23 years old.

Hello! I learned about a new drug from ARTHEx Biotech that can greatly help people who have myotonic dystrophy. Do you have any predictions as to when this new drug will be available for purchase?

@lucieann21 5 лет назад

Shaam Tehd you need to see a neurologist and explain the symptoms you have, They will do genetic testing to see what you have. No point guessing. Have you been officially diagnosed with anything?

@lucieann21 5 лет назад

psi-eye if you weren’t given a genetic blood test then you need to do that. Some of the symptoms of MC do overlap with Myotonic Dystrophy but they are vastly different diseases. Some doctors (ill informed ones) diagnose based on symptoms or an emg alone.. this is not good enough and a blood test must be done to know for sure.

Is there difference between myotonic congenita and myotonic dystrophy or muscles dystrophy???

@mrskrobinson1986 5 лет назад

That's what I'm trying to figure out

@lucieann21 5 лет назад

Yes Myotonia Congenita and Myotonic Dystrophy are two seperate conditions. MC does not have heart problems, cataracts, etc and is not a muscle wasting disease.

@shaamtehd 5 лет назад

@@lucieann21 you mean in myotonia congenita does not have heart problems.....it only effect facial..hands and feet muscles?? How do you know about it..?? Can you tell me about it in detail...if progress quickly or slowly..??

@lucieann21 5 лет назад

Shaam Tehd I know about both because I thought for years I had Myotonia Congenita but then this year my genetic results finally came back which showed I have Myotonic Dystrophy. Join the Facebook page “Myotonia without Dystrophy” for more information about Myotonia congenita and sodium channel Myotonias. Myotonic Dystrophy is a type of muscle Dystrophy and the only symptom it has in common with MC (myotonia congenita) is the Myotonia (delayed muscle relaxation). Google will tell you more about both.

@lucieann21 5 лет назад

Shaam Tehd she mentioned in this video “congenital Myotonic Dystrophy” do not confuse that with Myotonia Congenita... two different things.
