   Extractions: Although there is no specific treatment for any of the mitochondrial myopathies, physical therapy may extend the range of movement of muscles and improve dexterity. Vitamin therapies such as riboflavin, coenzyme Q, vitamins C and K, and carnitine (a specialized amino acid) may improve function in some patients. What is the prognosis?

2. Myopathies - Neurologychannel
   myopathies can be either genetically inherited or occur as a result of endocrine defects, inflammation or other abnormalites. Some myopathies, like the muscular dystrophies, develop at a very early age, whereas others don't usually develop until

   Extractions: Overview Diseases that affect skeletal muscle - muscles that are connected to bones, like the biceps in the upper arm and quadriceps in the thigh - are often referred to as "myopathies." Myopathies can be caused by several different factors, including inherited genetic defects (e.g., the muscular dystrophies), endocrine or glandular defects, inflammation (e.g., polymyositis), or biochemical or metabolic abnormalities. Almost all of the various myopathies lead to a weakening and atrophy of the skeletal muscles, especially the muscles closest to the center of the body, the proximal muscles, such as the those in the thigh and shoulder. Muscles further from the center of the body, the distal muscles, such as those in our hands and feet, are generally less affected by the debilitating consequences of myopathy. Other symptoms that a person may experience depend on the particular disorder and include heart problems, skin rashes, or breathing difficulties.

   Extractions: Christine (Feigert) Swanson When I was in my early teens, I was having an ice cream at the mall with some friends, and suddenly I couldn't move a muscle. The paramedics and the fire department came and I had to be wheeled out on a stretcher. The doctors, my parents and friends were baffled by what had happened. Many of the doctors doubted there was anything wrong with me. I had similar attacks over the years. Finally, it was found that I had hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, one of the myopathies described in this booklet. If you've recently found out you have an inheritable myopathy, you understand what my family and I went through. Because of the rarity of these diseases, your primary physician may not be aware that many of these myopathies can be managed with medication or changes in diet and exercise. This is why it's very important that you get all the information you can about your disorder. This pamphlet will help you get started. Learning that you or your child has a rare myopathy can be frightening and confusing. Some people may think you're lazy or mentally unbalanced, and that can hurt. One thing you can be sure of is that your disorder wasn't caused by anything you or your parents did, and you didn't catch it from anyone. As this pamphlet explains, each inheritable myopathy is caused by a very uncommon genetic defect that people often don't even know they have. (Two of the myopathies aren't inheritable; they're caused by thyroid imbalances that can occur for no known reason.)

Who does The Myositis Association serve? The Myositis Association provides support to those with: The Myositis Association's programs: A web site with current, easy-to-understand information about the inflammatory myopathies for you, your family, and your doctor; A bulletin board where you can ask questions and share your experiences; A quarterly newsletter with articles on how to cope with your disease, understand treatments and lead a full life; A special newsletter

   Extractions: Dear Friends What Are Mitochondrial Diseases? What Causes Mitochondrial Diseases? What Happens to Someone With A Mitochondrial Disease ... MDA Is Here to Help You Dear Friends: If you're reading this pamphlet, it's probably because you have just received a very bewildering diagnosis: mitochondrial myopathy (MM). What is MM and what does it mean? These are questions my husband, Jeff, and I struggled with when our baby daughter, Alycia, was diagnosed with MM in 1995. MM is a disease with many different faces. As you'll read in this pamphlet, dozens of varieties of mitochondrial diseases have been identified, with a complex array of symptoms. Some symptoms can be so mild as to be hardly noticeable, while others are life-threatening. Jeff, Lori, and Alycia Downs Alycia's MM causes gastrointestinal problems that make it difficult for her to get adequate nutrition and gain weight. She also has muscle weakness, epilepsy, drooping eyelids, fatigue, poor balance, hearing loss and learning delays. You or your family member may have similar symptoms, yet each case also is unique. When we first learned that Alycia had MM, we naturally were very frightened and uncertain about the future. As time has unfolded, we've learned that we can do things we didn't think were possible — we can adapt to the uncertainty, control the fear, cope with changes as they occur and still have a "normal" happy family life.

    Extractions: Treatment The treatment of myopathy depends on what causes the myopathy. Treatments range from drug therapy for the muscular dystrophies and inflammatory myopathies to simply avoiding situations that work the muscles too hard for the metabolic myopathies. There is currently no known association between diet and muscle disease, but some physicians recommend that people keep their weight down (a lighter body requires less work from the muscles) and avoid overexerting their muscles. For people with breathing problems, whether caused by muscular dystrophy or another myopathy, an incentive spirometer might improve breathing function, although it is not clear that this works for very many patients. Unfortunately, there is no way to strengthen the breathing muscles. One of the aims of gene therapy research is to find a way to deliver genes to the diaphragm and other breathing muscles to improve their function.
