I occur through ones early development.  I am a hereditary condition.  I cause negative effects.  I may be x-linked recessive, autosomal recessive, or autosomal dominant. I am evil.  And I am in millions of bodies as we speak.  You must be asking what I am?  I have nine brothers and sisters that I know of.  Myotonic, duchenne, becker, limb-girdle, facioscapulohumeral, congenital, oculopharyngeal, distal, and emery-dreifuss.

We all have one thing in common and that is our hobbie.  We all like to gradually weaken muscles over time and decrease muscle mass.  My brothers and sisters and I are all quite good at it too.  We normally affect males beginning around the age of four.  The reason why we are alive is because we are all a mutated gene that prevents the bodies we are in, from making proteins that are needed to build and maintain healthy muscles.

I really see no harm in this because I am a mutated gene living life just trying to do the job I was made to do… Right?  Well I have heard from my brothers and sisters that apparently the bodies I am in think of me differently due to the fact that I weaken there muscles.  And the fact that I gradually take there abilities away such as walking, sitting upright, breathing easily, and the abilitiy to move their arms and hands.  I could even give them learning disabilities if the brain is affected by the lack of properly-functioning dystrophin.

At first when I enter the bodies I choose, I cause them to stumble, waddle, cause difficulty going up stairs, cause them to walk on their toes, make them struggle to sit up straight, and I give them a hard time when trying to push things.  The bodies I am in develop large calf muscles and I can eventually put them in wheelchairs.

For me there is no cure.  Physical therapy, braces, corrective surgery might help some symptoms.  Assisted ventilation may be required for weakness of breathing muscles.  Depending on how serious I am, some medications include steroids to slow muscle degeneration, anticonvulsants to control seizures, and immunosuppressants to delay damage to dying muscle cells.  Now that you have read my biography and know more about me I will tell you who I am.   I am muscular dystrophy…

Part 2:

To help me research I used questions like: What affects the body it is in? What is muscular dystrophy? What are the types? What are the symptoms? What are the symptoms at first?

I verified the site info by researching on multiple sites to see if the information matched up.

The process was pretty simple and easy for me.  I am satisfied with my work and I don’t think there is anything I would change.
