Anyone out there heard of Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)?

Hi @beverlymarks, have you been diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)? Did both your brother and son die of the same condition?
Reading more about ALD here https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/adrenoleukodystrophy/symptoms-causes/syc-20369157 I see that ALD can be diagnosed in childhood or as an adult. And that the symptoms are often more severe in males than females.
Were you diagnosed with adult-onset ALD? What symptoms do you find the most challenging?

I hope you can direct me to Drs that can be helpful to help. I have a gait imbalance and I am falling alot. I also have bad headaches.
I was Diagnosed with Ald. I can say I noticed.3 years ago with the neuropathy in my legs. I now have to use a walker to get around and balance. I also developed skin itching. Also Irritable bowel syndrome. My neurologist has never seen a patient with Ald. If I could I would do stem cell. I would also take Lorenzo's oil. It has not been recommend. If anyone has any information, please let me know
