Name:  Jane

Alter:  18 yrs. old

Land:   United Stated

LGMD Unter-Typ:  LGMD2i

 

In welchem Alter wurde bei Ihnen die Diagnose gestellt?:

I was diagnosed when I was 5 years old.

Was waren Ihre ersten Symptome?:

I was experiencing difficult climbing stairs and keeping up with my peers on the playground.

Haben Sie andere Familienmitglieder, die LGMD haben?

No, I am the only person in my family with limb girdle muscular dystrophy.

Was sind für Sie die größten Herausforderungen im Leben mit LGMD?:

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.

Was ist Ihre größte Errungenschaft?:

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!

Wie hat LGMD Sie zu der Person gemacht, die Sie heute sind?

It has taught me to think outside the box – to be creative and original.

Was möchten Sie der Welt über LGMD mitteilen?:

Just because one is physically disabled doesn’t mean you are mentally disabled.

Wenn Ihre LGMD morgen "geheilt" werden könnte, was würden Sie als Erstes tun wollen?:

I would run a race and jump for joy!
