Thank you so much for replying.

We first noticed a few signs when our daughter was 20
but they came so slow, then all of a sudden the
symptoms worsened and she went through testing and it
was determined to be Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
2B.

She just turned 25 and is being treated at the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, MN. The doctors there are
excellent and she is getting great care but I am
searching to make sure that we are not overlooking
some other type of treatment or therapy.

Do you notice a difference taking creatine and CoQ10?

Thanks again
Karyl
