LGMD "SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW"
Name: Scott Alter: 48 yrs. old
Land: Vereinigte Staaten
LGMD Unter-Typ: LGMD 2L – also known as Anoctaminopathy
In welchem Alter wurde bei Ihnen die Diagnose gestellt?:
Although my MD began about 15 years ago, I was finally diagnosed recently with limb-girdle MD Type 2L. Until now, I was only informed by doctors that it was LGMD.
Was waren Ihre ersten Symptome?:
I began having difficulty climbing stairs and running.
Haben Sie andere Familienmitglieder, die LGMD haben?
Nein
Was sind für Sie die größten Herausforderungen im Leben mit LGMD?:
I have always been an independent person. Since I am an only child, I always did things on my own. Lately, I have had to rely more and more on family and friends. Also, it drives me nuts as to how long it takes me to do things now.
Was ist Ihre größte Errungenschaft?:
I am proud to have completed college and earned my degree.
Also, I am happy to have worked 30 years for the same company before having to resign due my struggling with MD.
Wie hat LGMD Sie zu der Person gemacht, die Sie heute sind?
I am still trying to develop patience. I take pride in accomplishing tasks that once I took for granted.
Was möchten Sie der Welt über LGMD mitteilen?:
Please continue to support local and national MD charities whether it be financially or volunteering time to those in need. It is greatly appreciated.
Wenn Ihre LGMD morgen "geheilt" werden könnte, was würden Sie als Erstes tun wollen?:
Walk unassisted down by the ocean at one of my local beaches.
