12/10/2015
ИМЯ: Michal ВОЗРАСТ: 35 yrs. old
СТРАНА: Poland
LGMD Подтип: Unknown
В каком возрасте вам был поставлен диагноз:
I was diagnosed when I was 25 years old.
Каковы были ваши первые симптомы:
When I was a baby, my neck muscles were too weak and I had difficulty holding my head up. I was delayed and didn’t start to walk until I was 4year old. I stopped walking at the age of 14.
Есть ли у вас другие члены семьи, страдающие LGMD:
NO , I’m the only person in my family who has this disease.
Что, по вашему мнению, является наибольшей проблемой в жизни с LGMD: For me the greatest challenge is that I cannot do some things such as walking, running. stand without help, get dressed, etc. I tried to control my activities so that I have enough energy to do the activities that I want to do.
Какое ваше самое большое достижение:
One of the biggest achievement in my life is that I have real great parents, friends, and colleagues who encourage me to live a fairly optimistic life and let me forget about my disability.
Как LGMD повлиял на то, что вы стали тем человеком, которым являетесь сегодня:
I have become more insensitive to pain and I’m not fearful of any challenges
Что вы хотите, чтобы мир узнал о LGMD:
I want the world to know that people with LGMD may need more help to live independently – such as a personal care attendant, improved access to adaptive and assistive equipment as well as medicines. A cure and treatment is needed to treat all the LGMD patients.
Если бы ваш LGMD можно было "вылечить" завтра, что бы вы хотели сделать в первую очередь:
I think if I were cure tomorrow, I would run and do everything I never could do!
