Muscular dystrophy?


Hello all.
I'm ashley and I'm teaching my fellow AP biology classmate about muscular dystrophy. I would like to be able to tell them how someone who has Muscular dystrophy deals with it in their daily lives. I would be happy to hear anything you have to say.
Thank you,
Ashley

Ashley, you can try webmd.com, mayoclinic.com, familydoctor.org for some disease information and hopefully these websites will also have some links on support groups as well, good luck

Me, too! I found a ton in kidshealth.org, kids, keyword muscular dystrophy. Did you know it affects about 1 in 3,500? Report It
