  • What symptom affects you most?

    Because FA affects everyone differently, which symptom gives you the most trouble? Examples: fatigue, diabetes, scoliosis, slurred speech, any vision or speech impairments.

    Fatigue is my number one. I get exhausted after doing the smallest things. Its annoying!

    The most troubling symptom for me is my legs when I’m shooting hoops. They get super tight on me when I shoot the ball. Spacticity is what it’s called I believe. Everything else is controlled so far with the diabetes issue,speech,motor skills. My vision is ok I got checked two months ago and the doc found an abnormality so I’ve been putting eyedrops in my eyes and have to go back next month. hopefully I get good news.
