Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have been recently diagnosed with mitochondrial myopathy. I am 40 yrs old and have muscle weakness, respiratory muscle weakness. I am trying to absorb all of this. My pulmo.md is very concerned and is doing what he can to help. On my pft's , it showed obvious muscle weakness. He suggests that at some point, I may have to go on disablity. I am a RN and work in Labor and Delivery. I see a cardiologist this week. Just am trying to find answers and any suggestions and others that have mito. My muscle biopsy showed increased lipid drops and currently more specialized tests are also being done on the muscle tissue. Thanks!
