Hi, does anyone suffer from head nodding. Mine happens several times a day, when I get up or move. It started 2 months ago. My neurologist

[Marygate]

says. Botox. in. the neck might help. Any one had this?

Also. It has been suggested that I use an Oswestry standing. Frame a I can' walk any more , use a wheelchair all the time. The physio thinks this might help me to walk a bIt once I can stand. Stood in it for 15 mins and felt almost human again

hi Marygate....sorry friend, I'm not familiar with that type of Ataxia....I wish you well

Standing frames are excellent. They improve circulation a lot if used daily

Dear Marygate, I don't have head nodding, but have heard that some people with ataxia suffer from this. I have also heard (as others have said) that Botox can be helpful. I didn't know what the frame was, and googled it. Fabulous! I can see why it would be good for a number of "physical"reasons! My best to you..., ;o)
