Life long

1980's- gastro issues/ burning hands and feet. Told females weren't affected so couldnt be Fabry's. Dad diagnosed in 1960's so I was tested at birth and always knew "carrier!"

Dad had kidney/ strokes. Sister, 2 nephew and 1 niece with Fabrys. 

Have tried PGD Ivf to have child without Fabrys. Was unsuccessful but hope to do donor egg, as always wanted to stop genetic progression of this nasty disease.
