Would A 50 Day Cycle Of Daily Injections Help Slow, Stop Progression Or Maybe Even Reverse It?
I have been diagnosed with LGMD 20 years ago, I am now 53, I can barely get around my house and am losing my ability to walk and use my arms, the progression is increasing in speed now.. I have a wheelchair.. To say the least I m not happy sitting all the time.. My question; Would a 50 day cycle of daily injections of 40mcg of IGF-1 LR3 help slow, stop progression or maybe even reverse it...??? Lars

Hi,
Nothing slows the progression of the disease but the effects can be minimized with medicines and exercises. Better to learn rehabilitation programme to cope with this devastating disease.
