Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) isn’t really one disease. It’s a group of disorders affecting voluntary muscles, mainly those around the hips and shoulders. The shoulder girdle is the bony structure that surrounds the shoulder area, and the pelvic girdle is the bony structure surrounding the hips. Collectively, these are called the limb girdles, and it is the muscles connected to the limb girdles that are the most affected in LGMD.
In other words my muscles don't function like they should. I have a harder time doing things that would be easy to someone else. It is a progressive disease and I'll have it forever until some magical cure is created. (Hopefully :( ) Any questions? Comment below.
