Of course people with muscular dystrophy can get married.
My partner of 9 years and I would love one day to get married. We have a deep emotional connection to each other as well as a deep physical connection, despite his disability. He has the ability to laugh, love, live and learn just like me, or anyone else who is able bodied.
My partner has been a wheelchair user for about 17/18 years now, and was diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy when he was 8. He is a beautiful, precious treasure to me, and his disability is just something we live with.
What else can I help you with?
Any treatment for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients?
No, there is ABSOLUTELY no cure for DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) in my knowledge.
What race does Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy usually occur in?
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is more commonly seen in males of all ethnicities. It is an X-linked recessive disorder that primarily affects males because the gene mutation responsible for the condition is located on the X chromosome.
How is Muscular Dystrophy tested for?
In the 1860s, descriptions of boys who grew progressively weaker, lost the ability to walk, and died at an early age became more prominent in medical journals. In the following ten years, French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne gave a comprehensive account of 13 boys with the most common and severe form of the disease (which now carries his name - Duchenne muscular dystrophy). It soon became evident that the disease had more than one form, and that these diseases affected males of all ages. Nine diseases including Duchenne, Becker, limb girdle, congenital, facioscapulohumeral, myotonic, oculopharyngeal, distal, and Emery-Dreifuss are always classified as muscular dystrophy.
What are common muscular dystrophy pains?
There are many types of muscular dystrophy and are usually defined by where the symptons starts. Normal signs are soreness in the larger muscle groups, muscle weakness or poor balance ability. It's important to seek medical advise if you notice any signs of muscles weakness - such as problems with your balance capacity - on yourself or your child.
What age do you die from facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy?
with a lite exercise and good and balance nutrition , the fsh MD patient lives normal life. execess or very less exercise cause muscle damage which may cause future problems. even i am a patient of it too and at age of 23 i am living a good life. if you have any other question feel free to contact me at inder@who.net .
What characteristics does an abnormal aldolase test have?
As noted, aldolase is elevated in skeletal muscle diseases, such as muscular dystrophies. Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, the most common type of muscular dystrophy, will increase the aldolase level more than any other disease.
What is duchenne's muscular dystrophy disease?
recessive
Who muscular dystrophy affects?
MD is a genetic disorders in which strength and muscle bulk slowly weakens. It is caused by incorrect or missing genetic information. Without this information you can not build or maintain healthy muscles. You slowly lose the ability to walk or even sit up right. This disease can occur at any age in a persons life and there is no known cure.
Is there any muscular dystrophy clinic in Delhi/Noida?
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic disorders that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. It primarily affects skeletal muscles, which are responsible for movement and posture. MD is caused by mutations in genes that encode for muscle proteins, leading to abnormalities in muscle structure and function. The severity and progression of MD can vary depending on the specific type and the age of onset.
Is it any cure of muscular dystrophy?
In some cases, like CMT, no. Symptoms of muscular dystropy can be surpressed with medication, but the disease is a genetic mutation. It's also hereditary, so it might be passed on to your children, even if you don't appear to have it. You might be a heterozygous for that particular gene. Meaning that it's a 50% chance for the gene to be passed on...
What are some diseases to the muscular system?
A disease, also known as pathology, is any abnormal condition. These include injuries like strains, which can range from mild to severe that requires a trip to the ER. Lack of use and malnutrition can lead to atrophy. Spasticity could be a disorder of the nervous system. The disorder known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a genetic disorder.
What is the difference between muscle dystrophy and muscle atrophy?
Myasthenia gravis: autoimmune to the ACh receptors at end plate (pathway >>> no muscle contraction) Muscular Dystrophy: genetic (X-linked) defect in dystrophin (pathway >>> myosin-actin crossbridge doesn't form > no muscle contraction)
