We only got our confirmed DMD diagnosis once we had a biopsy and western blot test. We have chosen to not take steroids. Ryker has been in the CAT-1004 clinical trial for for 15 months and is doing…"

Trinh Nguyen replied to Brooke Lyons's discussion once you get the diagnosis, what do you do? How do you move forward?"Dear Brook,
Both Andrea and Andrew' words are very true and very precious. I have learnt from them a lot.
You can fight for him, you can do it since you are his mom. MOM will never give up.
With share.

Andrew Kerr replied to Brooke Lyons's discussion once you get the diagnosis, what do you do? How do you move forward?"Its very overwhelming at the beginning. Take some time for yourself to come to terms with the diagnosis. You don't need to jump into steroids or anything else today. At 14 months old, there's not a lot you can do that is…"

I am so terribly confused...actually I am running the whole gamut of emotions. Part of me would like to stay in a bliss of denial yet I know that I can not. How have you moved forward and fought for your sons? I feel as though my hands are tied. I don't understand all the talk of research and science. I want to help my son but how??? My doctor does not want to start steroids until he is at least 5. What do your docs say? Isn't early treatment best? Side note, my son is 14 months. Is…See More

My son is 14 months old and we just got his diagnosis confirmed last week. The doctor is saying a cautious Beckers diagnosis/borderline Duchenne? Has anyone had that or a similar deletion? How are your son's doing? His CK is 26,970 currently. With being so new to everything I am trying to learn as much as possible. My son also has these "body tremors" I call them and also what the neurologist refers to as Stereotyipies. His hands and feet almost constantly "flap" or "wring" almost like he…See More

My son Ryker is 14 months old. I just spoke with his neuromuscular specialist and she confirmed via his DNA and chromosome microarray that he has exon deletions 3-30 but the DNA test is showing that he is making minescule amounts of distrophin so she is cautiously diagnosing him with becker's but wants us to understand that by the time he is 5-7 it could change to Duchennes since he has such a large deletion and he could stop producing the small amount that he is now. She said that it is…

- Brooke, Wyatt started walking around 13 months. He is still doing very well. At our last neurologist visit he was actually faster and stronger! He can ride a bike without training wheels but does get pretty tired. He has figured out how to limit himself by taking breaks.
We are actually going to the PPMD conference in two weeks. I hight recommend going if you get the chance. It is my recharge for the year.
Please keep in touch.

KarstensMom said… - Hi Brooke. I just read your message about your son. My son Karsten has the same deletion as yours. He was also diagnosed young, 5 months old, it was a fluke we found out so early. He does have a diagnosis Duchenne, but I have been told it could be a severe form if Beckers. There is no way to know without a muscle biopsy. He is 6 now and doing well. I am sure you have lots of questions and concerns, I know I did and still do. I am willing to answer any questions you have about how my boy is doing and what it has been like so far, just ask. You can email me at jaime_chesnut@yahoo.com
