Worst?

 My symptoms were engaged in a perverse battle royal last week to see what was the crappiest  crap I have to deal with. And the battle continues to  rage.

It started with depression over my hearing and how I can’t really take part in dinners with more than one person unless someone talks specifically to me, which defeats the purpose of big dinners.

This was followed by continence issues and problems pooping (or lack thereof).

All of this was made worse by a newish symptom. My hands and feet have, for years, had no temperature regulation, getting cold when it’s 70 out. About mid-summer, the rest to my body thought, “That looks fun, but let’s mix it up.” Now part of me gets hope — I swear I am sweating — but other parts are cold. It makes bedtime fun — I have to cover one part but uncover another. 

Finally, speaking of bed, my restless legs have been bad and keeping me awake hours longer than normal.

So what’s worst? How about Friedreich's ataxia?
