Vivian, Encephalomyopathy just means disease of brain and muscle. Doesn't mean lesions. http://www.a3243g.com/jargon_encephalomyopathy.asp Complex I defects are the most common, I believe.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Vivian I also have a complex I defect. It is a malfunction of the first step in the process of turning fuel into energy. It can also cause the other complexes after it to have decreased function. Your symptoms will not be like all that have a complex I defect, because symptoms are dependent on the number of " bad " mito in cells of a particular organ or organ system. How are you doing with the diagnosis?
