This seems to be a very old chat, but I'd appreciate knowing if any of you Camptocormians have been diagnosed with Axial Myopathy...If so, I would be helpful to commiserate with you.

Hi @axmyc, Welcome to Connect. I haven't been formally diagnosed with Camptocormia but I do exhibit the forward leaning and head partially down when walking. This also seems to fit the description of Axial Myopathy. My wife noticed it when I was in my fifties and told me I walk like an old man. Now I am an old man at 79 and definitely don't walk as good as I did at 50 🙃.

Have you been diagnosed with Camptocormia or Axial Myopathy?
