Managing FSHD

Being diagnosed with FSHD can feel overwhelming and bring many challenges. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with FSHD for years, managing the condition can feel like a journey with many twists and turns. The good news is that there are resources, support, and a community ready to help you.

At the FSHD Society, we believe that knowledge is power. By learning about FSHD, treatments, daily care, and support options, you can take charge of your health and future.

Where to start?

Managing FSHD looks different for everyone. Some people focus on exercise and mobility, while others need information on pain management, breathing, or adaptive tools. No matter where you are on your journey, we have resources to guide you.
