    Double vision has been part of my life for quite awhile now. Prisms didn’t make any changes. How does one drive safe this way?  Eye nystagmus ( down beat) are another symptom of FA that I manage to live with. Between the two of them I have a lot of motion sickness. (FA is not for Sissy’s)

    I’m finding it daily that nausea is a little harder to accept than it was in the past. There is no fix it pill for this or FA. Trying to stay positive during this struggle with FA has been a challenge that all of us are faced with.

  • This is a Good question for me to consider everyday – I have a late onset case of FA. at 64 yrs old. My best days ahead for me realizing and recognizing my limitations. I tend to forget/ ignore and take chances with mobility. My goal is to make necessary changes to realize that taking it one day at a time will be a big part of my future with FA.

    Hi Katie, from what I gather you are a bama fan? I live in Alabama also. I’ve learned long ago there are some things that you just don’t talk about, without resistance from family.
