Vitamin D Deficiency Common in Friedreich Ataxia but May Not Increase Disease Severity About half of patients with Friedreich ataxia (FA) have insufficient vitamin D levels, but researchers found no link to disease severity.

Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in patients with #FriedreichAtaxia (FA), but it may not be linked to disease severity, according to a report published in Movement Disorders Clinical Practice.

She may have used 11 of her 9 lives, but she made it to her 4th birthday! Veronica Mund-Mars is now accepting donations in her name to McClelland Small Animal Hospital and is selling toe-bean pics 😂 #morecatslesspolitics #cerebellarhypoplasia #ataxia #felinehyperesthesia #partferal

I sometimes do medical appt support for a friend of mine. On Thursday after her appt, I was stopped in the corridor & asked about my sunflower lanyard. When I said I had cerebellar #ataxia, the woman said to me "But you look so normal and healthy".

That's why it's called an invisible disability 😬🙄

Congratulations to researchers Stefano Stifani and Massimo Pandolfo, who have been awarded US$250,000 by the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance for their project studying how #microglia contribute to neuroinflammation in Friedreich’s #ataxia.

I have eye issues associated with my cerebellar ataxia. My eyes can't follow a moving object between 2 points accurately, the muscles are weak & lack control. This is called abnormal saccades, & exercises to try and slow its advance often don't work.
This+poor balance=falls.

Have managed to access a full physio assessment at Wellington Hospital for my cerebellar ataxia. A physio visited me this morning to discuss strength and balance training and working on my vestibular function.
I will also be getting a stool for the shower.

A stop-mo animation short by House Special. With Bill Nye. He talks about Friedreich ataxia. I fabricated some walls and that giant marshmellow on the end of his stick. The walls of the heart breath. I did the rigging for that as well. www.ataxia.org/billnye-for-...

2 days of vertigo isn't fun 😬 I spent most of Wednesday and Thursday in bed. This is a relatively new #ataxia symptom so I have to be careful not to move too quickly or I'll fall.

How are all my fellow spoonies doing today?
