Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks Bug, Now that we know about MELAS it is still a threat but hopefully by taking the vitamin cocktail everyone will be better off. For myself and my son we are on the " heavier " side, not 5 ft 105 lbs so our problems are fewer although some evidence of seizures. The diagnosis really has more bearing on my cousins--my aunts kids. My one aunt died at 58 after fainting in church. Her daughter is my height and weight and has similiar symptoms to me. My other aunt who is now 64 has 4 daughters who have kids. 2 of my cousins and 2 of their kids are very, very skinny. Have not seen them in awhile but a couple of years ago they were thinking of getting tested. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
