Friedreich's Ataxia
Posted: 08-03-04 23:53pm

My friend has had fa since he was 17.He is now almost 25.His walking had gotten worse but he was still able to walk and work at a very physically demanding job.Until about a month ago he came down with mononucleosis.He was pretty much bedridden for 3 weeks and didn't eat.He feels better, but is now almost totally unable to walk and needs a wheel chair to get around and can no longer work.Could the mononucleosis have made his fa progress much faster or was it the lack of inactivity that made it worse?
Thank you
tina
