Is it normal for people with this disease to make grimaces with their tongue? and is it normal for them to tangle their tongue non-stop while talking and not know how to pronounce certain letters because of that ??

I have DMD and that never happened to me.

@@Dieguito-ym9sw he stuck his tongue out almost non-stop, chewed it and the like, and when he spoke he had his tongue between his teeth and often interrupted his sentence to make my tongue stick out.

Not yet but a lot of researchers

[@abdelrahmanelkhouly9469]

Some researches claim that prednisone , a corticosteroid, helps to slow its progress significantly

[@fk5004]

I have 2 brothers(Aged 9 and 7)that have dmd and many doctors have offered steroids but it shows many side effects.😢

[@The_Muffin101]

For symptomatic relief corticosteroids are used. In the US trials on gene therapy have shown good results and have reduced the severity of the disease. They have also been granted FDA Approval

DMD sucks, but Edapt also sucks.
