You are your own best advocate on your Fabry journey

From your specific genetic variant (mutation) to how Fabry disease affects your body, your Fabry is unique. So is when and how it’s treated. The decisions around treating your Fabry are between you and your healthcare providers. You may face resistance to treat your Fabry or hesitation to treat until your symptoms are more severe (a “wait and see” approach). Remember that you are a part of these decisions. Begin by cultivating a healthcare team and community that not only believes you, but also believes in you.

For adults with an amenable GLA variant, Galafold may be a treatment possibility.
