Preface
I am Paulo Cesar Vieira, born in Goiania-Go on 05/31/1966.
I decided to write this book to clarify and help those with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy because I have had this disease for over 23 years, and I know how much people with this disease and their families suffer.
Because it is a disease that has no cure, and it is genetic and slow and progressive, leaving the person with muscular dystrophy very dependent on help from family members, physiotherapists, and doctors throughout their lives.
It is often acquired from the mother at birth. That is why we must do the DNA test as soon as we start to see the first symptoms.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT FACIO-SCAPULO-HUMERAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY IS.
Muscular dystrophy is the most common form of disease.
The muscles of the face, shoulders, arms and legs are the most affected by the disease throughout life.
Muscular dystrophies are a group of inherited diseases in which one or more genes necessary for normal muscle structure and function are defective, resulting in muscle weakness and muscle atrophy (dystrophy) of varying severity.
Muscular dystrophy (DMFEU) is inherited through an autosomal dominant GENE.
Thus, a single amyotrophic gene is sufficient to
cause the disorder and it can appear in both men and women.
It is the most common form of dystrophy and occurs in approximately seven in every thousand people.
SYMPTOMS OF FACIO-FACIAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
SCAPULAR-HUMERAL
Symptoms of muscular dystrophy usually begin between the ages of seven (7) and twenty (20) years.
The facial and shoulder muscles are always the most
affected, so the child has difficulty whistling, closing their eyes tightly or raising their arms, etc.
Some people with this condition also develop foot drops.
People also often experience hearing loss and eye problems.
Weakness is rarely serious.
Many people do not become disabled and have a normal life expectancy; however, other people need to use a wheelchair in adulthood.
In a form that develops during early childhood, the child has rapidly advancing muscle weakness leading to severe disability
MY YEARS OF MY LIFE WITHOUT DYSTROPHY MUSCULAR
From the day of my birth until the days of
After discovering my illness, I spent 32 years well, normally without noticing any type of dystrophy because what the eyes don't see the body doesn't feel.
Here in Goiania was a city where I spent a good part of my life, I studied from primary school to high school, where I worked for the first time in pharmacy.
I really liked playing soccer, indoor soccer, in the street with a goal, and Iran around and played all the games that anormal person could play.
At the age of 18 I went to serve at the Anapoles-Go Air Base as a soldier S2 141 PAULO CESAR.
Where I stayed for a year, very proud to be soldiers at the Anapoles air base, my platoon had 150 men.
It was averring valid experience in my life.
