Questions about tongue atrophy and other things being associated with Mito

[Guest guest]

May have asked this before, but has anyone had (or heard of anyone with Mito

having) atrophy of tongue (along with some weakness, speech or swallowing

problems)? Posterior neck weakness (difficulty keeping head up)?

Also, anyone know if Mito is associated with immune abnormalities, like low IgA

IgG or IGG? I have low IgM but normal IgG and IgA, which supposedly is rare.

How about any association with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or other

autoimmune disorders? Finally, have been told in past by various neurologists

that I have a very high-arched palate, which sometimes is associated with

myopathies. Anyone have this or heard of this connection? Find it interesting,

because this is also associated with some connective tissue disorders.

Oh, one last question for now: if you have Mito, doesn't that mean your mother

and others in her family line also must have had it in some form?

Thanks much,

Randall
