• Weakness

  We report a 32-year-old woman, who first noted myotonia that was associated with weakness during her first pregnancy. The work-up disclosed that she had Thomsen's disease which is not known to be associated with weakness. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In adulthood, it presents with myotonia, progressive muscle weakness and wasting affecting first distal limbs muscles or ptosis and facial weakness. [neuroweb.us]

  There is no weakness in Thomsen disease, but Becker disease is associated with transient weakness after prolonged rest and sometimes with progressive weakness. [msdmanuals.com]

• Fatigue

  Episodes of prolonged muscle contraction in those with Thomsen disease can also result in subsequent muscle weakness or fatigue. [manchesterneurophysio.co.uk]

  With panic assaults from ataxiophobia, the sufferer tends to experience fast breathing, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath and nausea. There are many medicines that claim to treatment ataxiophobia. [phobiasource.com]

  Vestibular ataxia results due to pathological changes in the vestibular system situated inside the ear which leads to ataxia accompanied with nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. [differencebetween.net]

• Muscle Rigidity

  Affected individuals have difficulty relaxing certain muscles after contracting them (myotonia), muscle stiffness (rigidity), and associated symptoms. Such symptoms tend to occur when attempting to move certain muscles after rest. [mda.org.au]

  In the two sisters described, exposure to succinylcholine resulted in generalized muscle rigidity without a rise in body temperature. [rarediseases.org]

• Muscle Spasm

  During an episode, someone with episodic ataxia may experience: problems with balance and co-ordination slurred, slow and unclear speech (dysarthria) muscle spasms involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) vertigo, migraines and tinnitus Episodic ataxia usually [nhs.uk]

  Medications for muscle stiffness, spasticity, cramps and pain - Patients with muscle spasms, cramps, pain and stiffness are treated with medications that are termed muscle relaxants. These agents include baclofen or tizanidine. [news-medical.net]

  Muscle spasms (spasticity) are also a problem for some people with Friedreich’s ataxia. Loss of sense of touch is characteristic of Friedreich’s ataxia but often it is only detectable when a doctor tests for it. [mda.org.au]

  Other agents with reported benefit in some patients are tizanidine, methocarbamol, vigabatrin, and valproate (mainly for spasms). Botulinum toxin has been used occasionally for severe muscle spasms with dystonia. [neuroweb.us]

  Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms and dragging the toes when walking. [puneataxiasupport.wordpress.com]

The Treatment for Friedreich's Ataxia There are currently no treatments for FA. Patients are monitored for symptom management. FARA is funding research to find treatments and a cure. We believe the treatment era for FA is now! [curefa.org]

Authors' conclusions: Due to insufficient good quality data and lack of randomised studies, it is impossible to determine whether drug treatment is safe and effective in the treatment of myotonia. [cochrane.org]

Prognosis The outlook depends on many factors, including when symptoms start (there is a poorer prognosis the earlier the symptoms begin), how bad the symptoms are and the quality of medical care. [drugs.com]

Prognosis Research into the biochemistry, neurobiology, and biophysics of central and peripheral nerves, heart and skeletal muscle, and the interactions between muscle and nerve to uncover the pathological process of Friedreich’s ataxia is being carried [brainfoundation.org.au]

What is the prognosis? Most cases of myotonia congenita are non-progressive and relatively non-limiting. [mda.org.au]

In 183 short chapters, the book provides the essentials clinicians need on symptoms/signs, diagnostic tests, and neurologic disorders of all etiologies. For this edition, Timothy A. [books.google.ro]

Etiology Both forms of the disease (Thomsen myotonia and Becker myotonia) are caused by loss of function mutations in the gene encoding the chloride channel ( CLCN1 ) that plays a role in muscle cell repolarisation. [orpha.net]
