National Family Caregivers Month
November is National Family Caregivers Month. It is a time to recognize the compassion and dedication of caregivers who are supporting a family member or friend living with a rare disease, such as FA.
The National Alliance for Caregiving’s website provides resources for caregivers: https://www.caregiving.org/

myself! got left by husband, father, mother who is taking care of my younger brother whose FA is worse. i know i am not the only one. there are so many brave souls who fight to make it on their own. it’s scary being all alone. but it pushes you to be stronger . i was having trouble transferring to bed [fell a lot], 6-9 month ago, and i’ve done so much extra physical therapy that transfers feel more stable. i work with an accommodation and i know i’ll get fired one of these days because i am just not producing what i used to. But i am taking one day at a time for now. And thank goodness my brother has my mother.
