    Christina Cordaro started the topic Voice Control in the forum Living with FA 1 day, 16 hours ago

    Does anyone else have difficulty controlling your voice volume? I find myself having this issue alot lately. J tend to talk over people or interrupt them when they are talking when I don’t mean to.

    Do you know of any tips to prevent this?

    Is anyone here affected by hearing loss due to living with Friedreich’s Ataxia?Do any of you wear hearing aids and if so, what kind do you have? Do they help positively or negatively?

    Christina Cordaro started the topic Anxiety and FA in the forum Living with FA 1 week ago

    With FA, it’s hard to tell if it will be a good day or bad day. When I am having a bad day relating to FA, I tend to have random emotional outbursts that leads me into having a breaking down. This usually happens when I am overworked or fatigued.

    Does this happen to anyone else and how do you cope with it?

    Christina Cordaro started the topic MLK Day in the forum Living with FA 1 week, 1 day ago

    This is my favorite Martin Luther King quote that reminds me of what it is like to live with FA. Each day I like to celebrate my small victories and what I accomplish.

    What’s you favorite MLK quote and why?

    Hi Marian,

So you are helping us create a place where people affected by FA can share advice and information directly with one another. You’re an important part of ou…[Read more]

    Christina Cordaro started the topic Walking Stick vs. Cane in the forum Assistive Device Usage 1 week, 5 days ago

    Who here on the forums has used or uses walking stick? I hear it has more stability than a camera and it truly helps with balance when walking since it is as tall as you.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for brands or styles?

    Christina Cordaro replied to the topic Describing FA to others in the forum Relationships & FA 1 week, 6 days ago

    I say it’s a neurological disorder that affects balance, loss of coordination and speech. Also, I have started to use a walker to help keep me safe.

    Christina Cordaro started the topic Auditory Processing in the forum Living with FA 2 weeks ago

    Lately, I have been noticing my hearing is becoming more affected due to FA. I am having trouble listen accurately, keeping my focus, and difficult with speech (whether it is getting my own words out or understanding other people’s words). It is extremely frustrating because I try my best to pay attention and use my energy to do so.

    Does anyone…[Read more]

    Christina Cordaro started the topic Wheelchair Preference in the forum Assistive Device Usage 2 weeks, 1 day ago

    For wheelchair users, do you prefer to use a manual wheelchair or an electric wheelchair? Do you use one over the other for certain benefits?

    For me, I divide my time eith using a walker and wheelchair because of my fatigue. I prefer a manual wheelchair because I don’t use it regularly so it’s easier for someone to push me and because I can’t…[Read more]

    Christina Cordaro started the topic Ankles in the forum Living with FA 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    When it’s winter season, my feet always turn purple due to being numb and having no circulation running through them. I recently started to notice the same thing about my ankles. They get swollen too.

    Does anyone else experience this and what remedies do you take to prevent this?

    Christina Cordaro started the topic CBD Gummies in the forum Nutrition, Supplements, and Exercise 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    I recently started taking these CBD Gummies to help me sleep better and consistently throughout the night. They consist of CBD, CBN and valerian root (all benefits to help this process). I definitely see a difference in taking these vs. taking regular CBD gummies.

    Do you take CBD gummies or have other remedies to help you sleep throughout the night?

    Christina Cordaro started the topic Happy New Year! in the forum Living with FA 3 weeks, 1 day ago

    How was everyone’s holiday season? Did you do anything exciting that you would like to share?

    Did you set any New Years goals for yourself? One of mine is to get more sleep each night because rest is very important when living with FA and it will help me get through my days better.
