Hi X-ray

GPs understanding of Cerebellar Ataxia is as we all know limited, if at all. Your

Neurologist will certainly sort this out. Vit E, and sometimes vitB12 can be deficient in cases of Ataxia.

Fingers crossed it's sorted soon xB

I was prescribed Vitamin E by Prof H in Sheffield ,the hospital pharmacy said that my GP would not be able to prescribe them and they were correct . I get them from the hospital !
