Any child poorly is awful. I have SCA1 so do not know that much about Friedreichs. I take a lot of supplements, but realistically I do not think they help - but you do not know how bad you would be!

Talk to his GP and try to get him on this?

Dear Simon111, I'm so sorry your son has Friedrichs ataxia! I don't have any suggestions for you, unfortunately! I have ataxia due to Niemann Pick C disease and already take CoQ10, as well a Vitamin D-3. Been taking them for years and not sure if they do anything for me. Maybe the site that Litty sent you will be a great help! My best to you...,;o)
