Hi,

my daughter is 2, she has global developmental delay and generalised muscle weakness, she has had a bunch of assessments and tests, and her genetic results to see whether this is due to a genetic disorder came back normal.

Yesterday she started to trip and fall more often, today iv been watching her legs closely and when it happens its like her legs are giving way.

The panicker in me is terrified this is the manifestation of some degenerative disorder,iv spoken to her paediatrician who said take her to see her GP but dont worry, so iv got to take her tomorrow, but i am out of my mind with worry.

Wondering if anyone had had similar experiences and whether anyone knows if the blood and urine tests they took would have ruled out degenerative disorders too, im panicking :weep:
