ok.. soo my dad has a disease called muscular dystrophy or something and my mom has always wanted to take me my sister and my brother in to get checked to see if we have it.. but we all tell her we are just fine... but the truth is.. i really think i do have it.. and its freaking me out. i dont know what to do cause i dont want to tell my mom cause then she is just going to take me to the doctors and i dont want to go.. =[

im 15 and i really dont want to go to the docs for it.. thats why i really dont even want to tell my mom..

First of all, what's your age? Does your mom have to go to the doctor with you?
What I would do is complain about some of the symptoms of the disease. If you family knows about its symptoms, it should be a red flag to them and she should call the doctor. Otherwise call the doctor on your own and get the testing done without her knowing.
