This page doesn't work well on phone. I took the fancy gallery code from elsewhere and don't think I'd be smart enough to change it.

Notes, more for myself.

Potential Conditions:

Muscular Dystrophy

  • Genetic. "The most common type, Duchenne, usually affects young boys." (Source: Mayo Clinic)
  • Myotonic:"With this type of muscular dystrophy, the muscles can't relax at will. For example, it might be hard to let go of someone's hand after shaking it. Facial and neck muscles often are the first to be affected. Symptoms often start between the ages of 20 and 30, but some have symptoms shortly after birth to childhood. As the disease becomes worse, the heart might beat out of rhythm and the heart muscle can grow weaker. Heart rhythm issues can be the first complication for some people. Muscles involved in breathing also can become weaker. This can lead to poor breathing, especially during sleep. Other names for myotonic dystrophy are Steinert's disease or dystrophia myotonica."
