I know most of us can't take it and it's only in the US right now but I think this is a serious step in the right direction. It's great news for us all.

I know what you mean. My sister-in-law has MS and and pleaded with GP to get the new drug but but it didn't agree with her and had to stop taking it. X
I’m excited but much of that is driven by desperation. I haven’t been able to find out a. what the drug does b. would you need a genetic confirmation of Friedreichs Ataxia to be eligible for use?
I've been tested for Friedrich's ataxia, so I think it's not for me. But it's a really good start and hopefully they'll be something for all of us soon. I'm glad that the people with Friedreich's can have a treatment xx
