Hi Cutter

Thank you for your question. Can I ask, what type of ataxia do you have?

Hi Cutter

This is the forum attached to Ataxia UK but we welcome questions from anyone. The weakness you are experiencing in your hands could be due to damage to the nerves in your hands because of your ataxia. It is very hard to make a diagnosis over the Internet. The very best thing is for you to see your own doctor.
