Hi there again. Thanks everyone for the comments I've had since I joined. My mum has has the results of her genetic testing and it confirmed she has episodic ataxia type 2. She has an appointment for her genetic GP in April but I am wondering if any one hear has any information regarding this type of ataxia, any information would be appreciated thanks.

Hi Junie🙂

You may have lost your previous link for ataxia information🙂

ataxia.uk.org

On the home page, on the headings bar, click on 'Ataxia'

See the drop down box, and click on 'Ataxia Types'

Scroll down to the last sentence. 'Episodic Ataxia is...' and click

on 'take a look here'

ataxia.org

On the home page, look on the left and scroll down, click on

'Download our Ataxia Fact Sheets'

Scroll down and click on 'Episodic Ataxia Facts'

ataxiacenter.umn.edu

On the home page, click 'About Ataxia'

Look for 'Hereditary' and click

Scroll down to the bottom two boxes. See 'Autosomal Dominant Ataxias'

Click on the bottom one 'Episodic Ataxia'

Or, you could google 'episodic ataxia'.

I would have liked to give 'one click links' but these don't always work🙂xB
