About Our Forum
This forum serves as a place where anyone impacted by Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) -- both patients and caregivers -- can share stories and life advice with one another. Often, living with a rare disorder like FA feels lonely. Facing troubles that seem unique to you causes isolation and loneliness. We seek to eliminate that by connecting people in the Friedreich’s Ataxia community to share their own stories, tips, successes, and troubles with one another in this forum by opening up a dialogue between those in the FA community!
