This week's interview is with the first married couple on R is for Rare, Sam and Katlyn Ferguson! Sam and Katlyn are high school sweethearts from outside of Houston, TX, and Sam was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia, or FA, when he was 3. FA is a rare, neurodegenerative movement disorder, and has a whole host of symptoms. It is a progressive rare disease as well; for example, in recent years, Sam's eyesight has worsened. Sam, Katlyn and I discuss wheelchair accessibility, issues with Medicaid and Social Security Disability, marriage with rare diseases, and much more!
