Ask Lots of Question: I am not an expert in treatment of muscular dystrophy, but any time you start a new drug you should ask lots of questions. Make sure you understand the expected benefits and potential side effects. If there is anything you are not comfortable with let your doctor know. Ask if you will need regular blood work to look for side effects.
