    Did you have a muscle biopsy in your investigations??

    Best of luck getting to the crux of your myopathy and happy for you that it's not ALS/MND.

    Love Ellie.

      Thanks Ellie.

      No not had a muscle biopsy (yet) although this was mentioned by my neurologist. I had an MRI on my thigh muscles a few weeks ago, apparently this might show something. It's all a mystery 🤔

        Don't let them forget about doing a muscle biopsy - it could provide vital clues.

            Thanks Hayls. That has been my experience too, some very good doctors and some not so much. I have had to push the NHS for absolutely everything e.g medication, physio, referral to a specialist....this in itself is exhausting.

            I've had a fair few melt downs I can tell you. This being in limbo is really awful.

            The fact I have just deteriorated since first going to GP in Feb 2019 makes me think that I won't ever get better. Whatever I have, it seems to be life changing.

            I have absolutely no control over what is happening to me so I have to try my best to be positive. The anti depressants have really helped.
