OK foks - Muscle Biopsy Results:
Everything normal except:
Myoadenylate Deaminase
Normal Range 0.11 - 0.87
Mine 0.27
Interpretation: Myoadenylate deaminase activity is 55% of normal mean. Patient may be a carrier for this enzyme deficiency.

Neuo says this may be the cause for the myalgia, cramps and excercise intolerance. Told me to eat lots of carbs before exercise, hydrate, avoid exercise in heat, and decrease intensity and duration. Not likely a progressive metabolic process. Said no need to have the kids tested if asymptomatic. Fasciculations are not part of this - he says----everyone gets fasciculations. I think he wanted to put this to bed.

Bottom line is I have the enzyme, but not as much as normal. I've read 15% of the general population has a 50% reduction in this enzyme, and it does not effect endurance. Also, 1-2 % of the population actually has a deficiency.
------------
Interesting also that this may be associated with FIBROMYALGIA. Enjoy searching the net on this one.

Treatment : I've found reference to high dose RIBOSE.
Have a great day!!!!
