Laurie...what did your first biopsy reveal

[Guest guest]

Hey Laurie,

What did your first biopsy reveal? I am just curious. I have seen a bunch of

posts and am getting really confused by all of this.

Also when did you start seeing Dr. Simpson?

I'm not which first you are referring to so I will just run them down.

1 - frozen needle, not looking for anything specific - considered normal

2 - frozen, not looking for anything specific - abnormal distribution of

type 1 and 2 muscle fibers and some lipid deposits

3 - frozen, not looking for anything specific - abnormal distribution of

type 1 and 2 fibers with poorly arranged muscle fibers (not in interlocking

rows as expected)

4 - frozen, looking for something metabolic - diagnosis of CPT deficiency

(carrier state)

5 - frozen, looking for something metabolic that made sense with family

history - can't remember the name without looking it up, but a fairly common

muscle disease (I had none of the symptoms)

6 - fresh done in Atlanta looking for mito- diagnosed with mito - complex I

defect

7 - fresh done in Cleveland looking for poor mito membrane integrity like

- membranes okay, but with I and II defect and functional II defect.

I have been seeing Dr. S. for about 11 years, between biopsies 4 and 5. I

was being seen by a peds neuro in MDA clinic before Dr. S. and between

biopsies 3 and 4.

Hope this answers your questions.

Laurie
