7. Hidden in Plain Sight: Weight Loss in Sandhoff Disease
Another symptom that can surface due to Sandhoff Disease is unexplained weight loss. Our weight can fluctuate due to several reasons like diet, exercise, or stress. But when weight drops noticeably without any changes in diet or exercise, it might be a sign of something more serious, such as Sandhoff Disease.
Initially, this loss may not be apparent. Clothes might fit a bit looser, or a familiar ring might slip off more easily. It’s easy to dismiss these signs, attributing them to recent dietary changes or increased physical activity.
However, as the weight continues to drop, the changes become hard to ignore. You might notice a sharp decline on the scale, or comments from friends and family about looking thinner. It’s important to remember that this isn’t about vanity or appearance, but about recognizing the potential signs of an underlying condition. (7)
