Good Afternoon Everyone! The topic on Siblings. I have two older brothers with FA I as well have it. What I don’t understand is that we three have FA but they don’t have a C Shape Spine as I do. Can siblings have the same thing but with different symptoms?

I’ve already share my experience with doctors. Now I just found out the doctor I have seen at USF is leaving? Now what am I going to do?

Frankie and Matt hello I’m not sure how to reply to a message but all the doctor’s that I have called First are already judging me from the way I speak. I have been looking for a Primary Care just to see me and try and get referrals to see other doctors. I have a Case Manager through Humana and she also has been helping me. We called USF this morning and they don’t have a Primary Care who takes my insurance. Then called another place that had already set me up with a an appointment and when we called to Verify the appointment they only take Humana Military. I have a Primary Care now that I have been wanting to change due to the fact that she is Not Compassionate at all. I have been requesting a Scooter Chair for in my home and have been waiting for a month. I’m covered at 100% but this doctor has Not done a thing about it. I try not to call a lot because I don’t want to be a PITA! Or get them Upset. I’ve asked for referrals for a Cardiologist and they basically said Yeah will work on it and get back to you. Still Nothing 😔 It’s making me feel so depressed. I’m here trying to Stay Safe and these people seem to not care. I don’t know What Else to do. I need help and No One Seems to Care. I’m not asking them for Anything but a Scooter. My Symtoms are getting worse Everyday and I can’t focus on that. I need to stay positive but how can I with everything that’s going on. Who do I turn to? If Anyone has ANY information Please direct me! I’m in Tampa Florida. Thank you!

Frankie thank you for replying. I’ve been to USF and seen Dr. Z the problem is I need a referral to see her and No Primary care doctor will take me as a patient. I have Humana and I have tried and tried to a doctor and none of them are educated on this. It’s so frustrating 😫 Can you see if you can find out something for me? Thanks

Jamie I read your post and I really myself can’t Answer that. It’s Anyone’s Right to Choose. But that’s how people think. Myself I need to stay Strong 💪 and focus on my safety. I have no caregiver No Doctors I really don’t know what to do with what’s going on

I have chairs that are attached to my shower. I place a small towel so I don’t slip. I have a question? Why is it my symtoms are getting worse Everyday.

Has Anyone had this progressing FA like I do and if so what can I do to get my strength back? I’m really scared about this and need someone to talk to about this? Can someone please call me. 813-493-5268?
