Kennedy's Disease

[monkey]

Hello everyone!
I was talking to my doctor today.. had to go in for a sinus infection .. Anyways he is a very smart and helpful doctor who is aware of my situation. He said he is not a neuro of course, but he said my symptoms are matching Kennedy's Disease perfectly and he suggested i talk to my neuro about it. Has anyone here ever heard of this disease? He also noted that i land in the age group that can develop Kennedy's Disease.. i am 21 year old male, any comments?

Hi. I found this information http://www.kennedysdisease.org/about.html that says even though the disease is neuro-muscular and incurable life expectancy is normal. Regards, Cindy

Hey monkey. Kennedy's is often thought to be ALS. It's worth a look.
