Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 My son has had two normal muscle biopsies done. The first left about a two inch scar on his thigh that is quite faint. The second is about4 inches long, bright pink and raised. And we learned nothing useful from it. I wouldn't put him though another one again. Alison Re: Saw our Genetic dr today > > Hi : > > I felt I needed to respond to your email. Leah too has what is called a proliferation of mitochondria cells in her body; meaning too many. And if memory serves me right, that can be just as bad. I'll see if my husband remembers everything they told me about that. Leah had another muscle biopsy done just in the beginning of June and they are checking on not only that, but it was sent to town University for a study being done on mutation. Wish I could help more. But wanted to let you know that. Except Leah doesn't crash. Only when she gets ill does she sleep more. > > Nerenhausen > mom to LEah > > Angels4hailee@... wrote: > > > Well today was our yearly genetic dr appointment.

The lab test came back showing that she produces an overabudance of mitocondrials... Which he says makes no sense since she still has all the crashes. Except that we do have two other disorders on top of the suspected mito. So this makes no sense to him, he has never seen it, and dosnt know how to explain it.. Does anyone have any ideas?? We are still have crashing cycles every 6-8 weeks with admits for up to 4 weeks at a time. She still tires very easy and has many of the symptoms but now we have a negative mito test... Help.. How conclusive is the muscle biopsy test?? Do i look else where?? > > , Hailees mom > > > > > > Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
