My name is Nelia. My husband is Mario. I am from Terceira and my husband is from Brasil. We live in California. My husbad was born with this disorder and was diagnosed in 1995. He is 44 years old. When my husband was diagnosed with the disorder that was our concern if our son could also be carrying the disorder. The doctor explained to us that for him to have it I also would have to have the disorder (since it is a genetic disorder). Our son is now 20 years old has no signs of the disorder and is a very healthy young man. You need to check your CK level very regularly because if it is high it can damage your kidneys. Do your parents have it? It is interesting that your brother and sister have it as well (both your parents must carry the same gene). My husband is the youngest of 8 and that we know of none of his siblings have it. Please keep in touch I would like to know more about you. Obrigado por compartir tua historia. Assim nos podemos ajudar uns aos otros. Nos nao cunhecemos ninguem com esses problemas musculares. Nelia Hi Alexandra.

I have two daughters (3 and 6 years) who have no symptoms generaly associated with the disease but I would like to know if there is such a thing as a silent disease: I don't know if I’ll be able to explain but what I want to know is if it is possible for them to have certain characteristics such as vey develloped muscles or other complications, aldo their father doesn’t have the disease and therefore they also don’t, but they have my gene with it. Here in Portugal this would be called “portadoras da doença" (carriers). If someone has some information on the subject please reply.
