      Good Morning Gina, I too had the muscle biposy,that showed no results,but the Dr.still thinks its some form of lipid storage disease.I took 3 long months for the results to come back from the lab.Me and my family were driving each other nuts.I would suggest that you see and MDA Dr.(Muscular Distophy Assiocation).They know more about Mito,any they will give you the right cocktail,that really about all they can do for this disease.Try to look on the bright side,things could be worst.I will keep you in my prayers. Love wedad

      Good Morning Gina, I hope you got some sleep,I have the same problem,once i get to sleep,i wake up within the hour.My legs mostly,because i have restless leg syndrom.Tylenol pm does help and also lunesta,I take one,one day then alternate them.but i feel like iam in the twlight zone all morning,iam really not supose to take anything because of my kidneys.some evenings i will go to the gym and relax in the jacuzzi and steam rm.which seems to also help.I took the alarm clock out of the room,every hour i was looking at it to see how much sleep i have gotten,that really helped.Well let me know about the test results and I will keep praying for you. Take care wedad

      Hello Gina, Yeah,i know what you mean about the Dr's.Everytime a have a test done,and it comes back postitive,they don't know why! My dr's told me that they don't have the resources to research lipid storage disease.Anyways i have had many cysts on my ovaries,i don't know if there is a connection or not.The one that i had just went away by itself.My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Take care wedad

      We believe, or understand, our condtion is, a nuclear encoded mitochondrial disorder, which in essence, means, myself and rachel, carry part ofthe gene each, within our nuclear genes, which had been carried forward into our children, as a full blown mutation within , both the nuclear and mitochondrial genes, which has meant the Stacey, Kieran and Kristen, have presented, at different ages, at birth, 3 months and 6 months. Myself and Rachel, do not appear to be affected, certainly not at this stage.

      I am almost 40 and have been fighting with my health for 12 years... I have had decpmpression surgery on my brain in "01".. I have also had a mini stroke and been hospitalized too many times to mention for strang things doctors can't ever figure out so they Blame it on my Arnold Chiari Malformation... I am now waiting for an appointment with a Genetics Docotr in Albany Medical to have testing done...

    • Close Arnold-Chiari Malformation

      I was diagnosed in "00" and a month later had the surgery.... I have to say the surgery helped alot of areas but because I have had ACM for so many years alot of my problems are for life.. I have to say I can live a more normal life since the surgery..
