What Is Myopathy?
10. Prognosis
The prognosis for people dealing with myopathy varies based on the type and stage of the disease. If you are diagnosed with a genetic condition that causes myopathy, you may still go on to lead a long and fulfilling life without more than minor impacts on your daily routine. If your condition is the result of another underlying condition, treatment of that issue on an ongoing basis may help keep the symptoms of myopathy at bay.
While there is no cure for some forms of myopathy, there are successful treatment plans and programs. If you become immobilized due to the atrophy that can occur over time, scientists have made great strides in assistive devices. Living with myopathy can be a matter of making adjustments, ongoing therapy and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle.
