몇 살에 진단을 받았습니까?:

I was diagnosed when I was 21 years old.

첫 증상은 무엇이었나요?:

First I noticed  I began to walk with a “waddling” gait because of weakness of the hip and leg muscles. I had trouble getting out of chairs, rising from a toilet seat and  climbing stairs. I was losing my balance to when standing.

다른 가족 중에 LGMD를 앓고 있는 사람이 있나요?  No.

LGMD와 함께 생활하면서 가장 어려운 점은 무엇인가요?:

The greatest challenge for me is having a hard time walking on my own. Occasional falls that sometimes cause me injuries. Sometimes my physical limitations keeps hindering of things that I can do but it motivates me also to try my best to stay stronger and better.

가장 큰 성과는 무엇인가요?:

After being diagnosed with LGMD, I have always wanted to be positive in life. I had the most challenging job and that is  being a sales assistant as standing for eight hours was hard. But with a lot of patience I made it.

I love swimming and going to places that even I find it difficult to go. I dare to live out the closet of limitations. Because I always believe that I am  never a failure unless I haven’t tried it.

As a mother of two children and a wife I believe that I tried my very best to support the family and to stay strong for them. I choose to be productive and efficient in all the things that I do. That is why I want to be a blessing to others by doing some community work as a volunteer teacher in our community helping children to enhance their skill and knowledge in school by giving them after school service program. All things work together for good if we just see things in a positive way. I stay strong and determined because there a lot of things that I can do and be thankful of.

LGMD가 현재의 자신을 만드는 데 어떤 영향을 미쳤나요?:

I know that I have gained respect and trust for others and for myself who have gone through tough, times and triumphed, by placing myself in their shoes, whether they have disabilities or not. I was more hopeful in spite of the sickness that I have there is still a PURPOSE  to succeed. I open my arms to LOVE and HEALING…My legs carry me forward in life…My disability sometimes indicates a fear of moving forward or a reluctance to step through….but…Life is beautiful…nothing is perfect in the world I live in…My physical limitations is not a hindrance…All it takes to live in peace with your age is a positive outlook on life…a happy personality…a lot of smiles…Know that inner beauty and inner strength are the mark of a winner in life, not the age or outer physical appearance. WE are all a WINNER…
