Myotonia
myotonia Information
I recently read that there is now treatment for myotonia dystrophica. Is this available in Cleveland?
This is a genetic disease now considered to be related to muscular dystrophy. I know The Mayo Clinic has been doing studies, but I would think someone in Cleveland should be up on this. Help
Need help with my muscle condition myotonia.?
Hey guys, I've inherited this muscle condition since birth. I'm now 16 and this is really getting me down. There are two different effects of this condition my muscles either go really stiff and cramped this is caused from tensing your muscles for long periods of times. My Dad has medication for this side effect, but because we haven't had my condition confirmed in order to reuce life insure costs etc this condition isn't fatal I can't have this medication for that side effect.However, this isn't the thing bothering me the most, it's the other side effect. The second side effect is weakness of the muscles I went to a party last night the next day, I couldn't stand up without one of my mates lifting me up. Walking to the bus stop, I needed two friends either side of me to prop me. Does anyone know how to prevent this symptom and to get rid of it once it has occured?It is usually caused by over exercise and getting cold. Any help would be great. As at the moment, it's restricting everything fun in my life.Just to let you guys know, it's the weakness one I need help with.
Are there any new treatments/drugs for myotonia congentia?
any info would be greatly appreciated.
Is there a cure for myotonia congenita?
Myotonia congenita plain English?
Can some please break this paragraph down into 'plain English" for me? Myotonia congenita is believed to be caused by a problem in the part of the muscle cells that are needed for muscles to relax. Abnormal repeated electrical discharges occur in the muscles, causing a stiffness called myotonia. I'd like to more clearly understand the anatomical structures involved int the " part of the muscle cells that are needed for muscles to relax" and how they malfunction or are cause to malfunctionAlex will you email me tim house2003 yahoo.com so we can go into more depth.
