I was diagnosed in my earlies 15. Since that time till now I can handle very well my fshd… but when I was 42 weackless appeaers with strengh. I was in Rome and when I haved to run take the bus I fall down. Now I am arriving to my 50’s and I achieved a lot of problems and dilemas that my family don’t understand even my mom and my sister have fshd. Also I am fighting to get out form drugs; At the very first time the drugs give me strenght and the power to move quickly even to go up and down stairs by myself. However all the perplejo se my drug adiction and give me a lot of possible solutions but when I ask for help for my fshd they only say that doesn’t really maters and that’s what REALLY MATERS. Well thank you for your increíble programa that makes visible this very strange desease and help us to make bealive to the others that even the most easy things are dificultades for us, ex. Walk with out fall everywhere in every time and they don’t tel me: keep on with your drugs up you dead… Have a nice Sunday guys.

    I’ve had physical therapy numerous times before and after my diagnosis in May of 2017. About 2 years ago I heard that one of the facilities I’ve been to in the past was hiring a physical therapist that only worked with people with neurological conditions. It made a world of difference in that in the past I reached a point where my body would rebel against the therapy and be on a plateau. We couldn’t get past it and they’d tell me that there wasn’t much they could do as we’d gone as far as we could go. So they’d release me from treatments, Medicare has standards of progress, which played into it. With my current therapist we’ve worked around any plateau that we’ve encountered and that’s made all the difference. Even after two hip replacements since May 2023 I continue to make progress. Not as fast as I want but she points out to me where I began and where I am now and how well I’m doing. I let her bring any therapist in training to join in touch, ask questions, nothings off the table. I figure I’m helping others by being available.

    Tim, Is FSHD really the most common type of MD? I’ve heard that it’s the second &/or third most common form? Some of the info has been 1 in 6-8K have it in the Netherlands and 1 in 10/11K here in the U.S. I usually miss your show because I’m generally in physical therapy for the better part of your program. I have FSHD and almost 2 years ago I began P/T with a therapist that only works with individuals with neurological issues. WHEN I first learned about her I had my neurologist write a script for working with this specific therapist. Since then I’ve had two hip replacements, one to replace a joint that was partially slipping out. In between my start to now it’s been either in relation to my hip issues &/or FSHD or both in conjunction with each other. This has helped me gradually work through those plateaus where in the past my body would rebel and therapist would tell me that we aren’t making progress and would stop the therapy. Medicare regulations were behind those decisions to stop. One of my therapy days was on a Wed for June so I’ve been able to watch. Otherwise I usually catch you on UA-cam.

    I am a massive fan of the fshd society . Because sometimes I have felt very alone as I have fshd type 2 but in 20 years I've never got the chance meet others with my condition. I don't have any family members who have it bar a 2nd cousin in Australia who I have never met or spoke to . But is very reassuring seeing other people on your channel with similar problems to myself. Truthly have learned more from this channel than any NHS doctor I have a neurologist but is really hard to get an appointment i have seen him once in 5 years . I live in northern Ireland and am jealous of people who live in north American because you seem to have a lot more treatment options. All they offer is powerful pain killer but I do worry about the damage they may be doing to my liver

    I've had LGMD since high-school. I'm 41 now, and still walking. I get to participate in about 10% of life. I think what hurts the most are people. They can't comprehend the struggle or the pain it causes just to exist. It didn't take me long to realize that it wasn't me that needed to accept my condition, it was the people around me. I chose myself to never quit, while others around me urged me to stop. For anyone struggling with any form of disease, don't look to others to find hope. Hope exists only in yourself. People will let you down and not think twice. If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it. Friends, acquaintances, and even family will tell you to stop. But, you have to fight. Fight for every inch and every muscle. There will be pain. There will be heartache. But, at the end of the day, there will be you. Then you can ask yourself, was it worth it? You will be loved. I can promise you that.

    The skepticism over testosterone is unwarranted. I think it needs to be looked at more. I've certainly had results. There might be an overlooked interaction between it and fat infiltration. Also, women seem to be affected the most severely out of all patients, perhaps testosterone is a factor here as well?

    Fantastic overview of where things stand regarding potential drug treatment. I'm happy that wheelchair users was mentioned at 46:45 because I've been quite disappointed that so many trials require the ability to walk. I've been a wheelchair user for about 20 years but I'm 49, on an official FSHD registry, eat healthy, don't smoke, have not had scapular fixation, have no heart abnormalities or major illnesses, am happy for MRI's, and am on no prescribed drugs. I wonder if criteria may relax if it becomes harder to fill trial places because there's certain to be more folks like myself out there who are prepared to accept places if offered.
