في أي عمر تم تشخيصك:
I was diagnosed when I was 5 years old.
ما هي أعراضك الأولى:
I was experiencing difficult climbing stairs and keeping up with my peers on the playground.
هل لديك أفراد آخرون من عائلتك مصابون بداء تضخم الغدد اللمفاوية الجنيني:
No, I am the only person in my family with limb girdle muscular dystrophy.
ما هي في رأيك أكبر التحديات التي تواجهك في التعايش مع داء الليثيوم المتعدد الكيسات؟:
I find that it is difficult searching for accessible paths when in an unfamiliar setting. It can also be challenging to have to pace myself – more than my friend.
ما هو أعظم إنجازاتك:
I suffered a major accident in October, 2014. My greatest accomplishment is working so hard to walk independently again. I was told no weight bearing on my legs while in the hospital for a month. But, after several consultations with multiple doctors, they reversed the orders. I worked hard every day to be able to walk out of the hospital on my own, one month later!
كيف أثرت عليك LGMD لتصبح الشخص الذي أنت عليه اليوم:
It has taught me to think outside the box – to be creative and original.
ما الذي تريد أن يعرفه العالم عن LGMD:
Just because one is physically disabled doesn’t mean you are mentally disabled.

I would run a race and jump for joy!
