Thanks for making this video. I recently learned about the existence of DMD via a documentary and am trying to learn more about it. I'll be sure to check out the rest of your uploads.
I notice the differences my nephew has this disease and I just wish he had thie opportunity when he was first diagnosed. he is wheelchair bound and unable to feed himself...
@530BigBen I'm sorry your nephew has this. I understand because I'm a full time wheelchair user and can't feed myself either well I can barely eat anyway. It definitely well be cured one day! Hang in there, I know it's hard and takes over your whole life. hugs
Thank you for sharing your story! Together those of us with Muscular Dystrophy can help raise awareness about this muscle disorder! Please check out my video about my blog about living with Beckers Muscular Dystrophy!
@iangriff2007 Thanks for the information! :) Can you ask you something else ? My brother is 12 and he has duchenne muscular dystrophy, if there'll be a cure, will help him ?
@xkollia Well if a cure is found it would help everyone, but it's not here yet, really do hang in there though, it will be cured but the timescale isn't nailed down.
Thanks for posting this. I take care of someone who has DMD, and watching your video is kind of neat because it gives another perspective (And I can learn more about DMD and share this with my client). God Bless! :D
@punkqueentheresa You're very welcome. :) If you'd like to know more about DMD, then you can read my recently published book, DMD Life art and me. It's my autobiography written about the first 25 years of my life. Available at Amazon, the charity Action Duchenne in the UK and many more online stores in the UK!
@gdudea Like steriods? They are available and may get you 6-12 months extra use but as it does not treat the underlying genetic issues, DMD usually always wins. Long term steriod use really has nasty side effects, lowers bone density, stunts growth and height, delays puberty, affects behaviour, leaves many depressed. Other alternatives are being looked into, so this is being investigated.
@gdudea Steriods will never cure or fix DMD scientists are constantly working on this, creating better newer meds for those who want them. As for me my belief's are centered around faith. I was not intending to ram religion down anyones throat so please don't feel threatened.
Breakthrough Muscular Dystrophy Treatment has been found!!!! Visit my channel to see the featured video of my 6 month progress! I am 22 years old with BMD & am showing more hope than anyone could have possibly imagined!
@DefyingDystrophy Just a note on this but BMD and DMD may have similar genetics but are far different in symptom rate and progression. This treatment hasn't yet been proven in clinical trials and its benefits and hidden dangers have not been throughly investigated. It's fantastic you've found many benefits and are feeling so much better, but it may not work for all. For those with DMD who want to try please do but you've been warned, also it has a several thousand dollar price tag.
I am writing to see if you would be willing to offer some advice to a friend of mine with MD who wants to go to school, but does not know the best way to be able to use a computer.....If you are not willing, then God bless you, and we won't bother you again, if you are willing, please let me know..thanks...
@TODnMO There are many ways to operate a computer, theres a mouse you can control with your head called a 'light mouse', theres trackball mice, I use a very small mouse. If it's a learning difficultly I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask. If you go to the PPMD website they might help you more, community (dot) parentprojectmd (dot) org
@Counterbrilliance Hi there thank you for your genuine care :) I get through my life through the power of Jesus Christ our saviour, I look at DMD in a new light now. Thanks again and many blessings :)
I'm on a iPhone I don't see that option if I post my email can you delete the post? I do not want to give my email to the world but o wish to write to you.
Hey Ian, I have a rare form of MD and am 29. I just wanted to say good luck to you and keep fighting the good fight. There's a Fall Out Boy song that has a rockin' line for us, "sugar, we're going down swinging!" Hehehe. Anyways, just wanted to show my support for you and your video and wanted to say hi from the USA. Good luck Ian!

Thank you! Producing, and posting video is no easy task. We live in an age when sharing ideas, research and most of all compassion with so many is readily done! I have a friend who has Duchenne. As I learn more of the condition, I feel my eyes being opened to the struggle---yet confident and persistent hope that is necessary for us all to get through each and every day. You might not realize it, but you are helping to speed up the day when this riddle is solved--thanks for your inspiration.
you are an inspirational young man .. I have just found out that my nephew aged two has this desease its absolutely heart breaking and I am hurt that in britain we do not research this for free. I am doing as much fundraising as possible to help all of you with this heart breaking desease
@iangriff2007 you were very kind to get back to me . Again it is really nice to see you doing good and making others aware of this. I will let you no about the fund raising and hopefully in the future u can advise me, YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION
yes this disease is fatal in the long run. It is the # 1 genetic killer in teens in america most people who are diagnosed with this they only live until late teens early 20's because what it does it basicly overtakes all the volantary mucels and eventualy it gets to your heart and kills you
@ragnaroots If we're talking of DMD, currently yes this disease is fatal in 100% of cases. Until treatments are found this will remain the case. With MD in general then fatality does vary with each condition, but to reiterate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is 100% fatal currently.
Hey, Im doing a powerpoint on this, and I was just looking for information and found this, and its nice to see people with 30 different versions of the disease, being, well, happy to talk to people and learn and to have fun. :)
I'm always happy to talk about my condition :) All the best with that presentation. Its not always so easy to deal with but hey life's all about enjoying what you got.
God bless you my friend. You are an inspiration with your attitude. I was studying this disease and came across your video. Great information. God bless you all the days of your life. Pray for me as I pray for you.
Thanks for posting. My brother has DMD as well and he is almost 25 years old. We definitely don't talk about it because he's my best friend and I don't see him as being in a wheelchair. So it's nice to see what other people with DMD have to say about it.
thank you for your video...you are truelly an inspiration i admire your realistic and optimistic view which could enlighten so many people out there to live in the present moment. i am studying medicine and your video has inspired and educated me as well :-) stay strong and bright you are a shining soul.
I can inform you, that everyone can help finding a cure for

i am sorry my dear. cheer up =)!!!STEPHEN HAWKING WAS BORN ON 1942 AND HE IS STILL MUCH ALIVE TODAY!!!i believe you can live over 40 and get married and have loads of children 10, 20 years down the road. you are an optimist and am sure god would help those who believe in themselves. I ve this cancer friend who lived beyond his life expectancy which doctors had predicted. NEVER NEVER LISTEN TO THE DOCTORS. THEIR WORDS ARE CRAP..!!! ya but in some scenario you should but, i believe in you. GO MAN.
Stephen hawkind does not have dmd, he has ALS. You don't seem to understand that with my disease living to 40 is a very RARE thing. In my video I said ill live to whatever i'll live too, and your right i'm an optimist but i'm also realistic. Thank you for you're comments. God is there for me I know this :)
Thanks so much for the video Ian!! Very interesting and very inspiring.. I liked your "Black cat" explanation, i have an exam tomorrow (im a medical student) and I think I might just use that!! Sounds like ur Welsh?? Im from the Valleys! Cant beat it :D All the best to you Ian x x x
Thank you and you are welcome. The sentence explanation is a very good one, makes a lot more sense. Best wishes on your exam! Yep I am Welsh, you certainly can't beat it. Take care.
i need ur help i want to know how old you are because my brother of age 16 just died of this condiction and i would like to know how old u r so i can see if there was any thing else that was wrong he also had fatty liver and bipolar and a lot more stuff i am very soory for disterbing you but i would really like to know i am only 12 and thi is very important to me
Please don't be sorry, you aren't disturbing me. I'm 25 now. DMD has various levels of severity so im not really sure if perhaps there was something more. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, my sincere condolenses.
Your video really helped me learn more about DMD, but also I feel so sorry that you and others have to suffer that :( Ugh, I really wish I could do something you know, I really do...
Thanks for your comment. There are many organisations that you could help out with if you wanted, theres ppmd and cure duchenne in the USA and Action Duchenne in the UK.
Hi! I am a physiotherapist and we are writing an essay about DMD. I found your vido very inspiring and I do believe God is watching over us all (: no matter what. Keep safe, God Bless (:
my 26 year sister in indonesia also suffer this MD I guess. both her arms and fingers cant well fungction. i search the best curing, i heard there is a gene injection. is it good?
Hi, Sorry to hear your sister has MD, I hope you and her are feeling ok. In terms of a cure there are many possible treatments currently undergoing clinical trials but it may be a few years before we see them come to market. I'm not on any trials so I don't really know if they are good except to say they look very promiscing.
I just graduated with my masters degree in occupational therapy and your video helped to have a better understanding of the condition. Sometimes we dont understand why bad things happened to good people but what it really matters is that God is in control and that He will use your testimony in this world to help others. keep the right attitude and never lose hope. You are not alone! God bless u always!!!
Well done on attaining the masters degree! I totally agree that God is there helping me get my message out there. His gifts have kept me going. I'm keeping hope and light is my armour :) God bless you too!
GOD?!! GOD! you say! GOD is the very reason why my brother has to suffer this disease! I dont believe in god anymore though it has made my own mother go even deeper into religion and lost her in that sense.
Wait one second, I suffer this disease too, God didn't give me this desease, blame the devil and the random chance of genetics. God is not the enemy here. I'm sorry you feel like this. Religion is helping me have the strength to keep living.
i'v been studing MD for a school project. thanks for making this video its helped alot. and good for you with you awesome additude, many people how have all thier mobilty arent as thank full as you.
First, Im really wanted to thank you about your video. Second, I would appreciate the opportunity to change some emails with you, talking about my research and maybe change some live experiences.
I'm a medical student and I'd like to thank you so much for making this to help me. Please keep it up! Some live a whole life without having lived at all, so keep up your inspiring spirt brother.
you made a great video. congratulations. i made a apresentation today about this and help. hope you make more videos and stay good. byebye (from brasil)
You have done yourself proud!! My friend has just been told her baby has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I never knew what it was until now. You have given me so much hope, I'm going to try and raise money for the London charity. Keep up the good wok and SMILES! X
Thank you very much! for your kind comments. Your friend must be going through hell after the diagnosis, pass on my regards, there is real hope on the horizon.
As a male nurse I am just trying to learn more about MD, your video helped, thanks. You have a great persona and a good looking face, perfect for making these vids, please make more.
Thank you for sharing. As a visual learner, your video helped make sense of MD better than anything I could have read in my Nursing texts. I appreciate your interest in sharing your experiences.
My brother has duchenne muscular dystrophy. My uncle also had it but he died at the age of 18. My brother is still fighting the disease. He is now in a powered wheelchair. We are trying to get some type of medicine to get him stronger. It is said that gentamicin can create dystrophin in the muscles.
We need a cure for DMD !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting. My brother has DMD as well and he is almost 25 years old. We definitely don't talk about it because he's my best friend and I don't see him as being in a wheelchair. So it's nice to see what other people with DMD have to say about it.

i am sorry my dear. cheer up =)!!!STEPHEN HAWKING WAS BORN ON 1942 AND HE IS STILL MUCH ALIVE TODAY!!!i believe you can live over 40 and get married and have loads of children 10, 20 years down the road. you are an optimist and am sure god would help those who believe in themselves. I ve this cancer friend who lived beyond his life expectancy which doctors had predicted. NEVER NEVER LISTEN TO THE DOCTORS. THEIR WORDS ARE CRAP..!!! ya but in some scenario you should but, i believe in you. GO MAN.

Stephen hawkind does not have dmd, he has ALS. You don't seem to understand that with my disease living to 40 is a very RARE thing. In my video I said ill live to whatever i'll live too, and your right i'm an optimist but i'm also realistic. Thank you for you're comments. God is there for me I know this :)

Please don't be sorry, you aren't disturbing me. I'm 25 now. DMD has various levels of severity so im not really sure if perhaps there was something more. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, my sincere condolenses.
Take care.

my 26 year sister in indonesia also suffer this MD I guess. both her arms and fingers cant well fungction. i search the best curing, i heard there is a gene injection. is it good?
92magdeburg 2 years ago
Hi, Sorry to hear your sister has MD, I hope you and her are feeling ok. In terms of a cure there are many possible treatments currently undergoing clinical trials but it may be a few years before we see them come to market. I'm not on any trials so I don't really know if they are good except to say they look very promiscing.
Take care and God bless!

I just graduated with my masters degree in occupational therapy and your video helped to have a better understanding of the condition. Sometimes we dont understand why bad things happened to good people but what it really matters is that God is in control and that He will use your testimony in this world to help others. keep the right attitude and never lose hope. You are not alone! God bless u always!!!
moespino28 2 years ago
Well done on attaining the masters degree! I totally agree that God is there helping me get my message out there. His gifts have kept me going. I'm keeping hope and light is my armour :) God bless you too!
iangriff2007 2 years ago
GOD?!! GOD! you say! GOD is the very reason why my brother has to suffer this disease! I dont believe in god anymore though it has made my own mother go even deeper into religion and lost her in that sense.
Kagutsama 2 years ago
Wait one second, I suffer this disease too, God didn't give me this desease, blame the devil and the random chance of genetics. God is not the enemy here. I'm sorry you feel like this. Religion is helping me have the strength to keep living.

My brother has duchenne muscular dystrophy. My uncle also had it but he died at the age of 18. My brother is still fighting the disease. He is now in a powered wheelchair. We are trying to get some type of medicine to get him stronger. It is said that gentamicin can create dystrophin in the muscles.
