    Romans 8:18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.

    The question of where is God and why is he doing this to me is one that has popped into my head many times in the years since my diagnosis. As I started to pay closer attention to the things that are part of the faith and…[Read more]

    Jon Jacobsen started the topic Misc. Boating/ fishing in the forum Assistive Device Usage 1 year, 11 months ago

    Found out a few years ago my wife liked to fish. Started out with a cane pole ( all she had to do was lift it). Decided to see about boating . she liked it but getting someone wheelchair bound in and out of a boat can be quite difficult. So I made a mount for my boat to attach a hoyer lift to . worked great.took things one step further and…[Read more]

    My wife did it and she was in a wheelchair when she had the second one. If you have someone to help which it sounds like you do you have as good a chance of raising good kids just as anyone else. Actually you probably will do a considerably better job than most people …because of the fa. You will have a much better handle on what is important in…[Read more]

    @toolman I don’t think I’d be able to handle pregnancy or carrying a newborn around or all the things babies require. I’ve thought a lot about it

    Some trials I’ve been going through are too many to mention . most of which revolve around non supportive family. I have lost everything trying to be there for my wife . and I do mean everything….friends ,family, business, retirement, most recently had a small stroke and hernia so my health is included, so much stress and absolutely no help from…[Read more]

    Jon Jacobsen replied to the topic Romantic relationships in the forum Relationships & FA 1 year, 11 months ago

    My boyfriend & I dated for almost two years before my symptoms were severe enough to start asking questions. I’ve literally always just thought I was a clutz. I’ve been diagnosed for about 3 years now & he is literally the only person I feel 100% safe with. He can tell when I’m fatigued or getting frustrated. I know I am very lucky to have someo…[Read more]

    Jon Jacobsen replied to the topic Etravirine… in the forum FA Research, Scientific News, & Clinical Trials 1 year, 11 months ago

    Me too😭😍 Scared to believe it.
    The norwegian drug has dosage recommendations down to 6 year olds.

    There are a few side effects so everybody should really look into it before deciding to try.

    The two people taking it now dont have side effects at this point. So fingers crossed!🤞🏼

    Jon Jacobsen replied to the topic Etravirine… in the forum FA Research, Scientific News, & Clinical Trials 1 year, 11 months ago

    Yes they both did! We almost dont dare believing it! Energy, improved speech, toe wiggeling, normal temperature and colour in feet and hands, stronger, improved balance… I’m very excited to try for myself. I hope I dont have any side effects that stop me from taking it and fingers crossed for some effects🤞🏼

    Thank you for mentioning me although I dont see myself as a writer really. I just read your last article. Now that is writing! 🙂

    I started my blog having a wish to share some practical tips about managing FA. My education is physiotherapist so I thought it could benefit others.

    If anyone would like the full journal article (only the abstract is available for free), I have linked it here. 🙂 Science should definitely be accessible to everyone and I love that FAN takes the time to report on these articles.
