My point is there is absolutely and I mean absolutely no doubt my brother is dire disabled He's assistance dependent heavy requiring 24 7 supervision incontinent x 2 (our washing machine dryer busted 25 months ago I'm laundering soiled bedding through kitchen sink blasting off the heavy out back with a garden hose 24 7 I'm exhausted I'm discouraged Scared Disability adjudicators authored a letter of explanation reading: "an uncooperative claimant unwilling to provide medical evidence of an alleged disability"🙇 Nobody's understanding that because they've had all his treating hospitals records they obtained them but I can't believe they've ever reviewed read them ?🙇 Most of the typical forms sent to my brother to read and fill out return🙇 He couldn't do work history or anything he's totally globally aphasic incapable of cognition anything near what it takes to do those kinds of things DDS wasn't understanding this I guess they get mad in response threatening to go without it and it'd be in your best interest to fill out our forms 🙇 More to the nail head you see my brother isn't aware of any of this ? Craziness...🙇 day by day he can't he doesn't know and I'm so feeling awful for him I'm on fixed income with MS and we can't resource his basic needs. It's sad and hurting I'm sole care assist here we're rural we're...! Slipping I'm loosing it it's so physical painful but no skilled nursing facility period I'm scared I'm OVER pushing it deliberately and I am in high risks for major acute events.....🙇 He's listing criteria for 11.04 A 11.04 B 111.04 111.08 A B 11.08 A B umm o His claim is currently stalled in at the Skyline Towers 15th floor in Leesburg Pike VA and I'm he's bed bound and weak frail tonic clonic seizures monthly it's we Need needed an appropriate adjustable hospital bed in rails we see him enduring that tattered out junk sofa a twin mattress on floor aside that filth WHY WON'T THEY HELP HIM ❓ why🙇 I need things for him it's 24 7 it's 2 yrs 11 months I'm numb my system I'm in danger to of possible medical events that'd put us in worse than now it's possible I look like death My Brothers everything I just love him Too Pieces❤💛 🙇✝➕ 🛌 Thanks for SHARING!!

    This study/clinical trial seems to be looking for outcomes on reducing myotonia symptoms. IE. Measuring muscle relaxation times Will there be any intentional focus on reducing the dystrophy side? IE. Regaining or growing muscle fiber.

    I am so glad to see this. My granddaughter was born with myotonic dystrophy in 2019. It was only because of her diagnosis that many of her family members found out that they had myotonic dystrophy as well but their symptoms had been misdiagnosed. I hope and pray awareness will make a difference in all their lives.
