How To Cure Muscle Degeneration?
I just met someone and they have muscle degeneration. Apparently they are a lucky one as the specific type they have is apparently not one to be of concern. Although I must say they have no muscle in their upper body and legs at all. It doesn't stop them doing anything however I am worried. They assure me that they are in the lucky 2% as they type they have is nothing to worry about, however I cannot stop worrying.
Is there anything that can be taken to help this condition to help the body gain muscle?
Thanks,
Jodi.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern this could be muscular atrophy ,dystrophy, this could be genetic disease and prognosis is not satisfactory but certain molecules are under investigation with some promising result "Selective androgen receptor modulator" if and only this is muscular atrophy, hope this information helps you have nice day.
