Ptosis is a condition where the muscles of the upper eyelid lose their elasticity, causing abnormal drooping due to paralysis of defective development of the muscle called levator palpebrae superioris (LPS).
It is primarily a disease of eyelid muscle LPS. This muscle has function of raising eyelid normally and due to weakness/paralysis it is unable to keep eyelid at desired upper level. Thus we see drooping eyelids and person suffering cannot keep up with normal activity.
Patients of diabetes, stroke, myasthenia gravis or cancer are at risk of developing ptosis. It can develop at any age, as congenital –since birth or as a result of disease/trauma. Ptosis can be congenital/acquired or unilateral/bilateral.
Though it is not a severe disease, it affects person’s appearance and leads to emotional and social trauma to patient.
Symptoms:-
- Drooping one or both eyelids.
- Increase tearing
-In severe ptosis, interference with vision
Homoeopathic medicine:-
It is an alternative medical science, which has good scope to treat ptosis depending upon type. It can cure paralysis of LPS muscle and improve general health of eye and also strength nerves, muscle, tendons and connective tissue, without any side effects. Homeopathic medicine has both palliative and curative effects. Homeopathy offers long-lasting permanent cure, treating the disease from its root. Homeopathic medicine works effectively on children as well as adult patient and can be taken safely by woman during pregnancy.
Thus homeopathic medicine is best option as curative and palliative for treating ptosis!!!

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy or Erb's muscular dystrophy is an autosomal class of muscular dystrophy. Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy encompasses a large number of rare disorders.
Symptoms:-
The term "limb-girdle" is used to describe these disorders because the muscles most severely affected are generally those of the hips and shoulders -- the limb girdle muscles.
Common symptoms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy are muscle weakness, myoglobinuria, pain, myotonia, cardiomyopathy, elevated blood CK, and rippling muscles.
The muscle weakness is generally symmetric, proximal, and slowly progressive.
In most cases, pain is not present with LGMD, and mental function is not affected.
LGMD can begin in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood or even later. The age of onset is usually between 10 and 30. Both genders are affected equally. When limb-girdle muscular dystrophy begins in childhood the progression appears to be faster and the disease more disabling. When the disorder begins in adolescence or adulthood the disease is generally not as severe and progresses more slowly.
There is no sensory neuropathy or autonomic or visceral disfunction at presentation. The specific dermatomes affected can be demonstrated clinically, and although lower limb deep tendon reflexes and plantar reflex are lost, abdominal reflexes are preserved
Types of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies
The "LGMD1" family is autosomal dominant, and the "LGMD2" family is autosomal recessive.
Prognosis
The distal muscles are affected late in LGMD, if at all. Over time (usually many years), the person with LGMD loses muscle bulk and strength. Eventually, s/he may need a power wheelchair or scooter, especially for long distances.
While LGMD isn't a fatal disease, it may eventually weaken the heart and lungs muscles, leading to illness or death due to secondary disorders.
Genetics
LGMD is typically an inherited disorder, though it may be inherited as a dominant, recessive or X-linked genetic defect.
Treatment:-
There is no known cure for LGMD, although homoeopathic medicine is showing promising vectors that may replace damaged muscle tissue. Treatment is generally aimed at controlling the onset of symptoms to maximize the quality of life, prevent further detoriation leading to gradual improvement in health status of patients.
We have more than 3000 patients of all types of muscular dystrophy from all over the world. we have documented up to 80% improvement in our patients.
