      @@moderatesunited While he is clear psychopath, Obama did nothing either. Ever seen a lot of change in America's policies when the new president was from the other party? No. They are both the same, not there for the people but for big companies. It is a wellfare system for multinationals mostly. Obama was no different at all. Words words words. That is why people lose all faith in politics. Because these people have no problem letting you down big time.

      I just made friends with someone with dmd.. looking at the life expectancy broke my heart.. but I want to be by his side either way, the whole way. This condition is vicious and unfair.

      @Tech Shakib I will.. no one deserves to live with this. I'm so sorry you have this. I hope you're able to fill your days with joy, love and adventure while you're here. I don't know you but I'm sending you my love and compassion. None of us are promised tomorrow... Try to make the best of what you have ❤️ I love you and I'm sorry you're going through this but it doesn't mean you have to let it limit you. Apply for grants, go to school, or if that's not your thing, find a job that makes you happy, go on adventures. Don't let this condition keep you from living your life. I'll be praying for you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    All this kid needs are SARMs. They prevent muscle wasting. It would literally solve all his problems, he just needs to get on a daily dose of ostarine every day in the morning and he should be fine. I hope the family sees this comment. Even testosterone would help.
