Farr's Disease

My sister was recently told that she may have Farr's disease.  She is 40 years old with several medical issues.  I can't seem to find much information on this.  I did read a couple posts in here but it doesn't tell me much.  She has thyroid issues (which I see that this disease has connections to), she was diagnosed with calcium deposits on her brain at least 15 years ago (again, another connection).  Can you please shed some light.

Thank you

Originally diagnosed with psoratic athritis  2 years later i displayed other symptoms.I was told they thought I had MS - as i had tremors dystonia and would loose balance.Had intravenous transfusions which i had a rather adverse reaction to.Then i am told i have parkinsons.....is there a clear definition between Parkinsons and Farrs Disease.
Or is this yet another guess by the specialist.

Signed
ready to deal with it as long as i know what it is!

My friend has been diagnosed with Farr's disease and I am  her closest contact and would like information on this disease.  I understand that it is rather rare, but any comment would be helpful as I am getting nowhere on my search for info.
