Hi there. Just an introductory post. My name's Connor, I have FA, and I'm 24. I was diagnosed when I was 9, had spinal fusion surgery at 12/13, I started using a walking frame at 17, and went into a wheelchair at 20. I have a degree in accountancy, I don't work but I've done a bit volunteering. Now a full-time stay-at-home Dad to a puppy - Henrik!
If anyone would like to chat or ask a question then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Below is a link to a blog post I wrote at the start of the year about my journey with FA.
Hi Connor, I’ve been reading your blog since I got up this morning, and I think anyone with Ataxia, or anyone with a family member who has Ataxia should read it, I recommend it.
Having said that, I have only got as far as your photos, and will continue after breakfast. 😀👍
Got sidetract but will continue later, about to start chapter five.
I have symptoms for FA, shaking hands since a small boy(I’m 75 now) walking problems, falling over, walk with wide gait indoors, have to use electric powerchair when out and about around town, diabetes, epilepsy......Could never write with joined up writing, always printed in block capitals because of hand shake..... even now only manage about half dozen words before hand starts violent shaking..... 🤨
Dear Lisbon67, A HUGE welcome to this site! You'll find many wonderful people on here for support and advice! BTW, love the name for your puppy!!! My best to you..., ;o)
