Often we wonder, what next after you have been given an official diagnosis that you have a form of disability and not just MD. I won't lie to you, at first it sound like a death sentence, especially with MD since there is no known cure for the condition and the best our medics can do it to tell you how to slow down the rate at which your muscles waste away.
Soon after feeling as though it is a life sentence, there is a sense of relief when you finally have a name to condition that could not be explained by anyone and one that had gradually made you make modifications to how you live your life and carry out your daily activities.
This relief, however, does not give you the permission to sulk and sit around waiting for your muscles to waste away, you need to come up with a plan on what you will do to ensure that you live your life to the fullest.
For those with MD, you need to get on a regular routine to keep your muscles moving as soon as you can. Most people will go to workout for reasons such as losing weight, building muscles, for them have a larger physique, but with MD and I would want to believe any other form of disability, you go to the gym, physiotherapy, occupational therapy or come up with a home exercise routine to retain your muscle power.
DO NOT start on an exercise routine before it has been signed off on by your regular doctor, they would be able to advice on whether you are doing harm to your muscles or improving the situation.
Your doctor or therapist should be your best friend as they will advice you on how to modify the environment around you to allow you live a fun and fulfilling life!!!!
