"Cutting edge research into the fatal muscle wasting condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which could lead to the first UK safety trial in humans, has received £1.6 million Government funding it was announced today."

[URL]http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/index.php?newsid=6892[/URL] for the full article.

I saw an article some months ago about the molecular patch mentioned in the above article and tried not to get my hopes up too much ...

Fortunately I don't have the Duchene form of muscular dystrophy (which invariably kills people by the age of 20 or so), but if the treatment works for them then there's no reason why it won't work for us facioscapulohumeral sufferers.

For the last 17 years I've been on a voluntary research program - once a year I go to the orthopaedic hospital in Oswestry and let them do various tests on me. The pay-back I get is that I'm near the front of the queue should a cure or a treatment be developed.

Feel free to reply using words like "Cool", "Good news" and "If you're cured can I come round and kick your ass?".

Oh no, I just remembered - I'm not your dad afterall.
That was a real bank, and they didn't want those kinds of deposits.

Shame, such a shame.
But your pocket money fuels my gambling addiction, so you can at least remember me with some respect.

That's a lot of fighting talk, boys and girls - are you sure you can take me? I should point out that my chair has a few - how shall I put this - enhancements.

And, of course, if you get through me you'll then have to handle Myst ...

You mean we have to wait until after you're cured.
