Dear,
I am 29 years old and in year 1995, I felt something wrong is happening to my strength.
Later on in 1999 biopsy confirmed it was lgmd and till date my every dream is ruined because of this.
Every winter it makes me more helpless .
Raising from chair, no stairs, no raising arms, walking and gradually fell down , major problems I am facing.
I want to share my experience with other people about going to toilet etc. to wear clothes yourself, to help them
please reply back , I researched lot on my problem and want to fight with it.
lgmd means limb girdle muscular dystrophy for others....but
\"love greatest mistake done\" for me.
THINK & THANKS

After leaving school and starting work I stopped my sports activities and it was soon after that my mother took me to my doctor to see why I could not lift my arms to combe my hair, this changed my life forever after seeing a nuorologist and was diagnosed with LGMD, he could not tell me then what was going to happen to me how fast the condition would progress, will I end up in a wheel chair or anything else, all he could say was there is no cure for this condition and that I should carry on doing light exercises just to keep the muscles and joints in working order for as long as I can, which I have done over the years.
I'm still not in a wheelchair, but recently I have fallen more frequintly so I try to be more careful when walking, I'm now doing other exercises given to me by the physiotherapy dept. which seems to have helped me not to fall as much. I will try to fight on not to be in a wheel chair to the end.
I'm now 62 and in my situation I think my life has not been completely ruined, at the end of the day, I fought on, I worked, I had my own businesses for over 35 years, up untill 2 years ago I had to stop it was getting too hard for me to continue.
One thing I learned was DO NOT GIVE UP, ADAPT YOURSELF AND BE POSITIVE.

I felt some kind of relief after i've stumbled this here page. I am also suffering the same symptoms as you fellows have had. I am a 28 yo male from the Philippines and i am having a hard time coping with everything that has happened to me. Reading your stories and learning from your experiences makes it a bit comfortable, to be with those who knows what i am feeling and what i am going through.
Beymen, if it is okay with you we can exchange emails. I feel so depressed and hopeless. I don't know anything else to write, but i feel not alone with you guys, and have felt your pain.
