See a doctor: There can be several reasons for myopathy. One of the major causes in the us today is the use of medications used for lowering cholestral. There are other causes that are genetic in nature. A full medicl evaluation and history is the best tool.

Mitochondrial myo-: pathies are a group of neuromuscular disorders inherited from one's mother. Find out the type & which organs it affects, then obtain information, resources & support from mda.org. Mitochondria are cellular power plants that convert fuel from food into energy molecules, particularly important in nerve & muscle cells.
