A disease which progressively destroys Muscle. Since I find there are more net users would like others to participate especially patients and try to learn from each other more about this disease inorder to beat it and to find a cure in some form. Understand there are various forms and so would like each to explain their condition, so that each others can suggest solutions...Looking forward to hearing from u friends

I have cerebral palsy, which is a neurological disorder and use a wheelchair and several personal care assistants that support me in living my life, I belong to a website called Disaboom.com, which support disabled people virtually. I totally sure they have an MD forum and you should post your questions there.

Hi there This is chetan frm pune. I am suffering from Becker's Muscular Dystrophy. I have tried ayurveda. A combination of Swarna Bhasma, Rasa sindoor and Shilajit helps to some extent. Yoga and pranayama can also be tried for its calming influence. Since i have a milder form, I do a lot of excercise -like chest-expander, weights, cardio. I walk for about a mile daily (not on road, but in my house itself, i know how much the distance is from one room to other, so I can calculate how many rounds i need to complete). The idea is to sort of "tell" my muscles "hey look you have a lot of work to do, increase your mass!". you have to be constantly moving (for this type of MD) if you stop, degeneration will increase. Pl. tell me more about yourself and your findings chetankathalay@gmail.com
