What people don't see
Bladder problems
Almost half of those with Friedreich ataxia experience frequent or sudden urges to urinate, which may worsen into urinary incontinence.
Learn More
Heart complications
About 75 percent of people living with Friedreich ataxia eventually develop heart problems, although these may not cause any symptoms.
Learn More
Daytime sleepiness
Some people with Friedreich ataxia live with fatigue or excessive daytime sleepiness that can make it difficult to function.
Learn More
Speech changes
As Friedreich ataxia progresses, some people may speak more slowly, or their speech may become unclear.
Learn More
Lack of coordination
Friedreich ataxia can make it harder to move with coordination.
Learn More
Difficulty walking
Problems with coordination and balance make it harder to walk as Friedreich ataxia progresses.
Learn More
Hearing loss
Eventually, as Friedreich ataxia progresses, people may lose hearing due to nerve damage.
Learn More
Scoliosis
Scoliosis, an abnormal curvature in the spine, can develop due to weakened muscles in the back and trunk.
Learn More
Digestion issues
Some people with Friedreich ataxia may experience constipation or bowel incontinence.
Learn More
Trouble balancing
Difficulty balancing can contribute to frequent falls for people with Friedreich ataxia.
Vision problems
Vision problems in people with Friedreich ataxia can include loss of color or peripheral vision, unusual eye movements, or blurry vision.
Learn More
Trouble swallowing
Many people with Friedreich ataxia experience problems chewing and swallowing due to weakened muscles in the tongue and mouth.
Learn More
Unsteady gait
An unsteady walking gait may be a sign of Friedreich ataxia.
Loss of sensation
Nerve damage can cause numbness and the loss of sensation in people with Friedreich ataxia.
