Social media has profoundly changed the way people with LGMD connect to others — around the corner and around the world.  Thankfully, LGMD patients and their family members are now able to access peer support via the internet. 

Through Facebook, a number of on-line LGMD related peer support groups have been established.  ** An active Facebook account is required **

Some of the LGMD related support groups accessed through Facebook include:

Forums for sharing support, experiences, and thoughts about living with LGMD.  (Most are “Closed” Facebook Groups for privacy…individuals must “Request to Join”)
