Re: It's Becker's MC - Only Took 40 Years to Confirm!

Hi Sue!

Mexitil is a great benefit to me, it does not suppress the MC symptoms 100% but it certainly helps, not just with the stiffness but also with cramps and twinges which seem much less severe than they used to. I'm also less tired than I used to be at the end of the day too. However, this relief is a side-effect of the drug which is usually prescribed for arrythmic heart conditions.

My son is 11 and a keen football player, it hurts not being able to kick a football with him, I'd fall over if I tried, but he's very understanding and quite happy as long as I'm there to watch his matches whith his Sunday League Boy's Team.
