i have a family history of limb girls muscular dystrophy. 10 years ago, I noticed isolated atrophy in one thigh muscle. I was told I probably had MD because of my mother and aunt's MD diagnoses. I did not follow through with neurology because my symptoms were stable and because there was no treatment. Last year, I began having significant weakness in my left thigh with occasional tripping as well as atrophy in my left hand. I have had intermittent cask updating. I finally saw a neuro because of the fast progression and because of the distal atrophy which is not typical of MD in my family. At that appointment, he told me I had last knife rigidity, a positive jaw jerk and pronator drift. I also have hand cramps and muse spasms. He wants to rule out FSH dystrophy based on family history but alluded " it could. E something else." Thoughts? Questions I should ask? Thank you.
