hey everybody I am a healthy male that is
25 years old and very active. I have a
father who has LGMD 1A which is autosomal
dominant thus giving me a 50/50 chance of
having the disease. my cousin has shown
sign since his mid teens while i on the
other hand have been fortunate enough to
stay healthy. I can still run..lift
weights...hike ..etc and frankly i am
scared to death that i have this disease I
can hardly sleep..it is all i think about
and i do not want to get tested for fear
of insurance purposes if by some chance i
am positive for it. I am suppose to be
starting med school in the fall and i am
not sure what to do. any advice or
opinions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
