I have a very close friend who, along with her two daughters, has Myotonic Dystrophy. My question is.....Is M.D. related to ALS. I have seen the two diseases in an article os something somewhere, but I cannot remember where so I figured that I would come to the experts to have my question answered!!!!!Any help would be appreciated. My friend and her kids do not have a specialist and are not on any medication. Her youngest daughters MD is quite severe and I thought if I could find out more facts from people who know then I may help her understand ( the mom) what the disease is all about. Any help is truly appreciated!
