Your husband has the genetic version of IBM, I do not, my IBM has no explanation, I had a muscle biopsy years ago which showed that I had IBM, the biopsy was correct, and I am now dealing with significant muscle wasting in my legs, hands, arms, shoulders and many other areas, I’m in a wheelchair, and am plugging along. I wish the best for your husband, it sounds like you are aggressively treating his IBM and I wish you all the success in his treatment.

We have been really lucky with an early diagnosis, lots of interventions to slow progression and some great doctors. He is still able to walk without any assistance 10 years in but has significant muscle loss.

What kind of challenges are you facing with IBM?
