I have some pretty weird dreams but last nights was really bizarre. It all started when for some reason I was in America. I was talking to another man with DMD and he had found this special formula that could help someone with DMD. Somehow I was convinced to try it and for months it doesn't do anything. I got frustrated that it was doing nothing but as I was getting angry my arms started moving and I could suddenly walk! I was incredulous at this. The next few days were bliss but suddenly the other man with DMD disappeared and along with him went the formula. That meant I ended up back the way I was. I didn't give up though and my dream turned detective in it's style as I worked out what the formula was. I found out after some bizarre journeys and a meeting with a powerful man that it was nectar from a flower. I formulated it with other natural ingredients but I woke up before I could tell if I could walk again.
I definitely have not given up on a cure as you can see from my subconscious but it certainly wasn't a man made genetic altering medication that could have untold side effects it was all natural. I didn't remember the name of the flower after all that!

Foreword
I’m Ian Griffiths from South Wales. This book is a story of my life so far up to the age of twenty five years. I live with and suffer from the ill effects of DMD which stands for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It is a severe muscle wasting disease and a life limiting terminal illness. It won’t kill you in six months in the traditional sense of ‘terminal’, but it’s far crueller than that, it steals every muscle in your body first and then kills you, anywhere up to the age of thirty. There have been cases of men living past that into their forties and fifties but only with drastic interventions such as ventilators and tracheotomies, more on this can be found by reading on.
I hope to cover a few things in this book, from a history of my childhood years to a more detailed history from sixteen years onwards and finally onto my current problems and triumphs. At times things I write may make you smile or may make you pause and think about the seriousness of life with this devastating disease. I really hope there will be a cure but currently for us supposedly ‘older’ guys with DMD (over twenty one), there seems very little hope. If I don’t see a cure in my lifetime, I hope my campaigning helps in some way bring it about for future generations, so another child won’t have to see their body wither and die before their time.
