A che età è stata fatta la diagnosi?

I was diagnosed at the age of 28.

Quali sono stati i primi SINTOMI?

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

Ha altri familiari affetti da LGMD?

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

Quali sono, secondo lei, le sfide più grandi da affrontare nella convivenza con la LGMD??

Chronic pain is my greatest challenge with LGMD.

Qual è il suo più grande risultato?

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

In che modo la LGMD l'ha influenzata nel diventare la persona che è oggi?

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.

Cosa volete che il mondo sappia della 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.

Se la vostra LGMD potesse essere "curata" domani, quale sarebbe la prima cosa che vorreste fare??

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.
