Friends Helping Friends With Myotonic Dystrophy

The Myotonic Dystrophy Assistance and Awareness Support Group (MDAASG) based in Los Angeles, California has put together a helpful guide of suggestions from families on how to deal with the many challenges of living with DM.

Friends Helping Friends: Helpful Hints for Persons Living with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy is a guide of suggested methods for adapting to symptoms shared by individuals living with the challenges of this disorder.

Note: In this document, myotonic muscular dystrophy is abbreviated as MMD (rather than DM as used on this web site).  Both forms are commonly used in the patient and medical community.
