Wei Yanping: The diagnosis of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy is relatively clear based on the genetic examination and muscle biopsy results. This type should be treated with arginine, coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid, and multivitamins for a long time. Your oral medications should be taken for a long time. And you should strictly control epilepsy and avoid fever and all kinds of infections. Watch your diet, avoid starvation, add meals before bedtime, and encourage aerobic exercise to increase the mitochondrial count. Acupuncture may be helpful in the acute phase of limb paralysis, the disease is stable its not very helpful.
