Maintaining Abilities With Friedreich’s Ataxia by Kendall Harvey

It can be disheartening to see my walking getting worse despite all of the squats I do, physical therapy sessions I push through, and mental energy I spend willing my lower half to do what I want it to do. But then I remind myself that my body would likely be even worse off if I didn’t make that effort. I had to adjust my mindset that I am not doing all of this to “get better,” I am doing this to maintain whatever abilities I do have despite FA.
