A man said he gave up having kids of his own to avoid passing on his incurable rare brain condition.
David Steed suffers from adrenoleukodystrophy , which leaves him relying on crutches and is constantly exhausted.
David is now speaking out for Adrenoleukodystrophy Awareness Month and told the Glasgow Times about his experience. According to the NHS the illness affects approximately one in every 20,000 males, making it very rare. Michael said:"I think it is quite amazing that we have two people with the same very rare brain disease living only a few miles apart."For me it can be hard because every single morning I wake up and I feel like I have done ten rounds with a boxer.“I don’t think I have had a good night's sleep in at least eight years, I am so tired.
