Surprising Facts About Muscular Dystrophy
Most people only know about muscular dystrophy (MD) from the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon that has been held every year since 1966. While the vast majority of the population may not give the disease much thought after this telethon is over, it's surprising how even patients of MD have very little knowledge of what exactly it is, what parts of the body it affects, and what can be done to treat and accommodate it.
