Found out today that my brother doesn't have ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease). He has SCA 7.
SCA-7 is an autosomal dominant ataxia that has a variable age of onset. Patients often have visual problems in their late teens or early 20s, with decreased visual acuity and decreased color vision. Progressive cerebellar ataxia often follows the visual symptoms and consists of poor coordination of the arms and legs, gait problems, slurring of speech and, later, difficulty in swallowing. This is genetic
My brother has been sick for approximately 4 years now. So with this final conclussion to what he has is nice to know. The rest of my family and myself can prepare for the future.
And to a friend Angelo. Won't be forgotten.
