À quel âge avez-vous été diagnostiqué ??

I was diagnosed at the age of 28.

Quels ont été vos premiers SYMPTÔMES ?

My initials symptoms included weakness and pain in my legs, difficulty climbing stairs and it was hard to stand up from the ground.

Avez-vous d'autres membres de votre famille qui sont atteints de LGMD ?

I do not have any known relatives that have been diagnosed with LGMD.

Quels sont, selon vous, les plus grands défis à relever pour vivre avec le LGMD ??

Chronic pain is my greatest challenge with LGMD.

Quelle est votre plus grande RÉALISATION ?

I am still working on my greatest accomplishment but for now I have three beautiful children that I am focusing on.

Comment le LGMD vous a-t-il influencé pour que vous deveniez la personne que vous êtes aujourd'hui ?

I have always had a great work ethic, always able to accomplish what I put my mind to.  Because of my disability, things are hard to get done but I never give up.  I have been able to stay positive and encouraging to others.

Que voulez-vous que le monde sache sur le LGMD ??

I want the world to know that this disease is life changing and it can be extremely hard at times.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of support for LGMD.  Hopefully raising awareness can lead to better support for people living with this disease.

Si votre LGMD pouvait être "guérie" demain, quelle serait la première chose que vous souhaiteriez faire ??

If I could be cured tomorrow, I would go to a trampoline park with my kids!  It is the small things in life that I cherish now.
