chance of Limb Girdle Md
Posted: 01-08-08 15:41pm

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
