I have Fahr's Syndrome
I'm only just starting to learn about my diagnosis and what exactly it means for my "future". And I put future in quotes on purpose because I'm not exactly sure what kind of future I can expect. There isn't much written about Fahr's Syndrome or Fahr's Disease because it's pretty rare and there isn't a cure. And I'm pretty sure because it is so rare, there will never be a cure, so right now, the symptoms just get treated until treatment no longer works. So, what I understand at this point is that I have bilateral calcifications in my brain at my basal ganglia (& other areas) and apparently this is not good. The calcifications can't really be removed and apparently they enlarge and as they do, they cause damage to the brain. Impairments that can't be corrected. These impairments lead to symptoms like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, or both. So, essentially, my brain will shut down my body. I started having symptoms
