Can people with Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy give their opinion about whether people with Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy
Yes. Opmd sufferers symptoms vary patient to patient. Many work for years with the disease until mobility issues take over. Physical activity is encouraged but limited to not overwork the muscles affected by the disease.

People with OPMD can work as long as the disease is not limiting or affecting their job activity. A man that works on the construction and is having problems in shoulders or hips should not be doing this job.

Sedentary work. Something that doesn't take and stress to leg muscles.

This disease affects everyone differently. The symptoms vary and work is possible but may need to be adjusted as the disease progresses. In most cases, the disease will cause patients to loose muscle in other areas beyond the eyes and throat. Watch your abilities closely and have an open dialogue with your health care team
