Living with Mitochondrial Diseases
in Health ·
My daughter is 9. We first noticed things slipping away when she was 6—she started forgetting basics like colors, songs, or even how to write her name, Anne. Now, three years later, she’s lost almost everything. I have to dress her, change her diapers, and feed her myself. I don't know anything about this condition, but doctors are leaning toward a mitochondrial disease. Before she turned six, she was perfectly healthy—riding her bike, coloring, drawing, singing... If anyone knows more about what this means or what the future looks like, please let me know. Thanks.
