Today is the final day of #BMDAwarenessWeek. Did you know…? BMD is highly variable with an unpredictable progression rate. Some cease walking as a child, while others walk well into their 30’s or 40’s. I’m 55 & lost the ability to walk this year. @MD_Canada @MDAorg @tdsb
It is #BMDAwarenessWeek. Did you know…? Becker Muscular Dystrophy is considered a rare disease & occurs in approx 1 in every 30 000 male births. Feeling alone & scared are perfectly natural feelings when facing a rare disease/illness. @MD_Canada @MDAorg @tdsb
It is #BMDAwarenessWeek. Did you know…? Because of the cardiac issues related to BMD, lifespan can be shortened. Improved medical care over the years has increased the chances of those of us with BMD leading a normal lifespan. @MD_Canada @MDAorg @tdsb
MDA graphic designer Dustin Clark, who lives with #BeckerMuscularDystrophy (#BMD), encourages those with #disabilities to pursue their passions no matter what. Read his story (and check out his debut album!) here: https://t.co/G1iefzgbeI #BMDawarenessweek
It is #BMDAwarenessWeek. Did you know…? Often the first sign of BMD is dilated cardiomyopathy - heart disease which enlarges & weakens the heart muscle, preventing it from pumping blood efficiently. I take two medications daily for my heart. @MD_Canada @MDAorg @tdsb
It is #BMDAwarenessWeek. Did you know…? Muscle weakness progression in Becker Muscular Dystrophy usually follows this pattern: muscles of thighs & hips are affected before muscles of lower legs & legs are affected before arms. @MD_Canada @MDAorg @tdsb
It is #BMDAwarenessWeek. Did you know…? #BMD is an X-linked recessive condition. Since males only have 1 X chromosome, their dystrophin is much more likely to be impaired if mutated than females. Females rarely manifest BMD symptoms. @MD_Canada @MDAorg @tdsb
It is #BMDAwarenessWeek. Each day this week I will tweet a “Did you know…?” fact about Becker MD. In BMD, muscles weaken because #dystrophin, protein made by muscle cells, doesn't work properly & puts muscle cells at risk of irreparable damage w normal use. @MD_Canada @MDAorg
Becker musküler distrofisi (BMD), kaslarda hücresel bütünlüğü koruyan distrofin genindeki mutasyondan kaynaklanır.
DMD'de distrofin hiç üretilmezken, BMD'de kısmi distrofin üretimi vardır. DMD'ye kıyasla daha geç belirti verir ve daha hafif semptomlar görülür.

When it comes to living with #MuscularDystrophy many mistakenly think we have Multiple Sclerosis. But it must be known that MS is a completely different medical condition. Please "❤️" & "Share" this fact today! #BMDawarenessWeek
If you have a progressive condition like Becker muscular dystrophy, finding ways to look after your health to help you stay well is vitally important. That's why we're supporting @gitaramdharry to develop a new self-management programme: https://t.co/fovXTTvL10 #BMDawarenessweek
How cool is this ***REMOTE*** clinical study for Becker Muscular Dystrophy? Participants don't need to leave their house---the phlebotomist will come to them! #BMDAwarenessWeek #BeckerMD
Researchers @BingPharmacy are seeking participants living with BMD to partake in a biomarker & patient-reported outcomes study. Information gathered will enable future biomarker-focused clinical trials of new therapeutic agents in BMD. Get involved today: https://t.co/3KPd6UpPbu
