VertigoTinnitus (a ringing sound in the ears)
-
Small raised dark red spots on your body (called Angiokeratomas)
-
Fever
-
Sweating too little (a condition called hypohidrosis)
-
Intolerance to heat

Abdominal Pain
-
Vomiting & Diarrhoea
-
Impaired Hearing

Alterations in the eye eventually leading to clouding that can occur in the cornea (known as ‘Opacity of the Cornea’)
