Hi,I hae Congenital Muscular Dystrophy,I was wondering how people think life with MD is and in general about them. Do you pity someone with it or just think they are like you?It would also be very helpful if you could help me get more info on Congenital MD,because of how rare it is I am in need of more info.I have merosin-positive Congenital Muscular Dystrophy,thank you very much for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel sorry for them, because the've definatly been dealt a bad hand. However I won't treat them any differently from anyone else, I'm sure special treatment is very aggrovating.
I think that people with MD or MS or cancer or any other disease are just like other people. You just have hurdles to overcome in every day life the most of us don't have to deal with.I would suggest the MDA web site for the information you are looking for.
I too have MD. I was diagnosed at age 13. I am now 51. I stuggle to walk and complete many daily activites, but I have been teaching elementary school for 30 years! There is life w/ MD.... it's just different.
