[Archived] Fabrys Disease

[Jordan]

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.

Sorry I cannot help with any info but I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I hope it goes well when you see the specialist next week.

All the best Jordan, glad to hear you're up and about again.

[Hughesy]

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]

at least they've finally worked out what it is.

Does this mean we have to be nice to you now?

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

You could probably get a game at the moment !

Sounds awful, get well soon pal.

[broadsword]

Hope next week goes well for you, Jordan.

[MCMC1875]

Happy Birthday pal!

[Billy Castell]

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.

[dave birch]

Take it easy Jordan.

Get well, get well soon.

[ABBEY]

[roversmum]

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.

[bellamy11]

Hope it all goes well for you mate.

Good luck Jordan.

Does it mean a few days in there, or is the treatment done a day at a time?

[Eddie]

Best of luck.

[Jordan]

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.
