Auto Immune Muscular Disorders?

My Mom has been told she has an auto immune muscular disorder. She hasn't been given a specific name, but awaits a muscle/tissue biopsy. How many of you suffer from a muscular disorder and how are you being treated?

I have a neuromuscular disorder called muscular dystrophy. the kind I have is called FSHD and there's no medications for it, only exercise. I go for a check up twice a year and my 3 yr old daughter goes once a year.

she doesn't show signs and the doctors won't put her through the tests. I had to have shocks to see if my nerves were affected, then a muscle test where they stuck a needle into my muscles, which was painful especially when I had to move my arm & leg. After those tests, I had to have a series of blood tests. the blood tests costs about $2,000 and most insurance doesn't even help cover it because it's a DNA kind of test.

her doctor does not want to put her through the pain unless they see early signs.
