Your Body Is Speaking
Morbus Fabry is a rare genetic disease. An enzyme is missing or working only in a limited capacity, and as a result certain metabolic products accumulate in your cells — in the kidneys, in the heart, in the nervous system. Pain in the hands and feet, burning sensations on the skin, problems with organs that build up gradually over years. Medicine knows the cause: a mutation on the X chromosome. That is not conjecture. That is genetics.
