Hi xwino:-)

I've had treatment for BPPV, I found it quite effective.

For a good explanation of the condition and treatment see:

Re the pain pills, we all know it's possible to have a side effect from medication.

Perhaps this is the case and an alternative may be available that suits you better.

I was wondering if they know for sure if your back pain and Ataxia are related.

No. I,m sure it is not related Ataxia.

I get backaches, but I think that they result from my sitting, or laying, in awkward positions. Since I don't walk that much due to Ataxia, I spend lots more time sitting or laying.

Also, were you told that your Ataxia was caused by alcohol? I know that mine was caused by that, but I haven't found anyone else who says that theirs was caused by alcohol. I'm wondering if there are that few people who have Ataxia caused by alcohol, whether people are ashamed to talk about that, or if I just haven't run across those people. Have you got any thoughts about that?
