Jordan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have recently been diagnosed with Fabrys Disease and I was just wondering whether anyone else suffers from this or knows anyone who does. From what I have read it is extremely rare and effects only 1 in 40'000 males. I am due to see a specialist in Manchester next week where I should learn more. It sounds like it can cause heart disease, kidney failiure and strokes. I have already had a Stroke and don't fancy getting anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Oh dear - hope your better soon mate. What is the disease then? Is it effecting you now, or is it that it can cause those things mentioned? Well I had a stroke a couple of months ago and I have suffered from aching hands and feet for years however people kept on telling me it was something else.

Flopsy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 at least they've finally worked out what it is. Does this mean we have to be nice to you now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossydave Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 From what I've read, a lot of the symptoms are similar to mine. Mine are the result of a road accident leaving me with a skull fractured in 5 places and bleeding on the brain though. I've learnt to cope with mine and keep things under control as well as I can do. One of the problems I have is every time I get a headache or any minor little thing, I associate it with my disability though and panic. Its silly and I need to stop it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have a good friend who has had two strokes. It has really knocked a lot of life out of him, even though it was about 5 years ago. I hope you recover well Jordan, as I know it is a very bad thing to happen.

Jordan Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Just to let you know that I will begin my treatment next Monday at Salford Royal. Initial tests on my Kidneys suggest that there is no damage however I am still awaiting tests back on my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Good luck Jordan. Does it mean a few days in there, or is the treatment done a day at a time? Yes it is done during the day. Initially they say it will take about 5 hours however eventually it should only take between 1 and half and 2 hours. I need to have it done every two weeks however after about three months a local nurse will come and do it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
