Talk:Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita

Thoughts of a sufferer of this condition
Although the above is mostly accurate, from what I have found out since I was old enough to both understand and investigate the condition further, there are several things in the above that I would disagree strongly with.

Firstly, as I understand it from what I have discussed with the specialists responsible for treating me, the majority of cases are actually leaning towards the severe side, with even the minor ones having quite heavily restricted joint movement, and even in the rarest of mild cases it can limit your career options and hinder your performance in life.

Also, from my understanding of the condition, it is also genetic, and can potentially (but not always be passed on) (I myself (Mark Fox) Suffer from it in what can be considered to be a very mild case which left me unable to use my fingers at all until quite a late stage in my childhood. 20 years on from the initial diagnosis, I still lack the full use of my fingers, and still suffer from pain after extended periods of activity)
