My Sister (just Turned 79) Has McArtle's Which Means Her

Posted on Sun, 23 Aug 2020

Question: My sister (just turned 79) has McArtle's which means her muscles tire quickly as they don't produce glycol?? (energy) fast enough. For seven months now she has had head and neck pain, somewhat relieved by Tylenal. It comes and goes. She’s afraid to try BDS? Oil or cannabis because of her weak heart and blood thinner.
