My son has m d diagnosed in year 2000 did not get it until his early fourties no one seems to know about MD Very much if you get it later in life do you have any suggestion
I too got it though it’s genetic in my forties. It’s called myotonic dystrophy. The Cayce remedies helped me but it took effort using the remedies. It’s not simple like taking some pellets. Hope there is something homeopathic to help.
