First, I want to apologize for the lateness of the reply and really thank you guys for being so kind to me. These past couple of months have been up and down. My husband did get his muscle biopsy done and the next day Michael hit us, bless him, it was miserable for him. He had a spinal tap that...

Sorry to post without biopsy results, he goes in 10/9 for the muscle biopsy itself. This is the only place I know to go to seek any advice, I know you guys can't diagnose, but I was wondering if your experiences have been the same. He still can't lift his leg up from a laying position or wiggle...
