      Hello, Sorry to hear about your Son and I hope that your ok. I know it's not easy when it affects your family, I'm still waiting to see how much it has affected mine. As for a diagnosis, the test that revealed all was an EMG. Apparently the results were off the scale. It took 5 years for them to test me for Mito. Good luck I will be praying for you.

    • Close Mitochondrial Diseases

      my son Zane is 14 and was diagnosed with Mito last year, he has respiratory chain complex 1. he suffers from epilepsy and psychosis, is in a wheelchair now and basically deteriorating. his brother luke has muscle weakness but mito was ruled out. just so worried and tired.

    • Close Eczema

      I am 39 and have had excema since the age of 14 when it flared up all over my neck and chest. Now I get it on my arms, ears, torso, hands and new places from time to time. I generally find that creams dont help except to cool the skin. My flare ups happen in Spring and Autumn and in Summer when I get too much sun. The humidity is a sure fire trigger. Stress can also trigger it. Its so annoying!!!!

      Treatments

      Aloe Vera Somewhat Helpful
      Elocon Working / Worked
      Pretty good but was told to go easy with it as it thins the skin.
    • Open Caregivers

      My son has a degenerative condition, he is 14 years. I am a teacher but am taking leave because of the stress in my everyday life caring for him. He is a beautiful kid who is living a nightmare and I feel a mixture of guilt, helplessness and resentment that I am depended upon for nearly every aspect of his daily needs. I love him and my other 2 kids so much, but it is very hard to have a good day when you are tired, sad and relied on every minute.
