I had the first side effect from the medicine to treat Friedreich's ataxia. Actually, it is more correct to say I was just made aware of it.
I went and this week to see my doctor for blood work after two months of the drug. I like my doctor a lot even though he is totally different from the doctor I had for the best 25 years old.
And that’s not just because he asked me if I wanted to do Coloaguard or “poop in a box. It is just different.
One way is he got the blood work back to me the very next day.
It showed that my cholesterol has gone through the roof, a potential problem with this drug.
The rest of my blood work was okay, though, so that's good, and we will retest the cholesterol in six months to see if I need to go on medicine I lower it.
It is sort of like what I was talking about with sweatpants and the lift and how I cannot have two simple things. I can't be warm and use the lift easily.
With this, I can't treat Friedeioch’s ataxia and have half decent cholesterol, apparently.
It annoys me that one medicine is making me take another. I don't like taking medicine.
