About Me
my names johnny im 18 im in a
wheelchair and the reson why i am in wheelchair is becauses i was born
with a mucsle disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Symptoms
usually appear in male children before age 5 and may be visible in early
infancy. Progressive proximal muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis
associated with a loss of muscle mass is observed first. Eventually this
weakness spreads to the arms, neck, and other areas. Early signs may
include pseudohypertrophy (enlargement of calf and deltoid muscles), low
endurance, and difficulties in standing unaided or inability to ascend
staircases. As the condition progresses, muscle tissue experiences
wasting and is eventually replaced by fat and fibrotic tissue
(fibrosis). By age 10, braces may be required to aid in walking but most
patients are wheelchair dependent by age 12. Later symptoms may include
abnormal bone development that lead to skeletal deformities, including
curvature of the spine. Due to progressive deterioration of muscle, loss
of movement occurs, eventually leading to paralysis. Intellectual
impairment may or may not be present but if present, does not
progressively worsen as the child ages. The average life expectancy for
patients afflicted with DMD varies from late teens to early to mid 20s.
There have been reports of a few DMD patients surviving to the age of
40, but this is extremely . and here are things i like i like the
colors blue black and red i like anime,rock music,emo girls,horror
movies,nice people and here are somethings i dislke rap music,mean
