Hello, Sorry to hear of your step son's struggles with Friedrich's Ataxia. Although I have not at first hand had experience with a patient with F. Ataxia, Most of the patient's die from cardiovascular complications from my research. From my research, It will not be painful. Might be quick if his heart is quick deteriorating. Warm regards
