Re:MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (Score 1)

Sorry, I don't mean to sound clinically depressed but none of this is funny. "sounds like he'll fit in the community just fine." Don't you think I want to dance with my son at his wedding? He will be robbed of one of the many beautiful things that life has to offer and this includes growing up to be a tall handsome man( srteroids stunt the growth), meeting the girl of his dreans and marrying her one day and producing children. "Be thankful your son could walk for the first decade of his life?" Hey, I better break out the whistles, blowers, and horns now. Yeehah! And, just because he is walking doesn't mean it isn't a struggle for him. And, he takes 12.5 mg of prednisone a day. This is a whopping adult size dose. Needless to say, the mood swings and hunger pangs he receives from taking a steroid are enough to drive a parent up the wall. But, I'll take it over witnessing him falling all of the time, struggling with climbing and the inability to jump off the ground. Good luck to you and your health.
