Hey yeah I have it too. Let’s hope this STAR programme finds a cure huh? I have a feeling it won’t come about in our lives though – maybe in our children’s or children’s children?
Vamos a ver.

Research tells myostatin inhibitors can reduce the dystrophy effects.

what is that and is it a health risk to take it?

myostatin is a gene that induces muscles dystrophy. by blocking this gene, dystrophy can be halted.
Labs sell this stuff, but it costs $4500 for 1 mg
(do a google search, you’ll get many results)

no prob m8
it is still being researched, in the future it will probably be used as therapy for many muscular and neural diseases, and becoming affordable.

My boyfriend has this, especially in his legs and feet and has fusions in his toes.
