Hi desray

Thanks for your question

I have cerebellar ataxia and have lost weight this year, although it has been on purpose. How long have you been diagnosed with ataxia and how is your mobility? How much weight have you lost and over what time period?

Sorry for all the questions!

Harriet

Hello Harriet, I have Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and cerebella ataxia. I was diagnosed several years ago. I believe my condition was caused by being exposed to pestisides in Vietnam during the 60's. I am now 69 years old. I have problems with my eyes, balance, parkanson like problems, gait. I cry and laugh for no apparent reason and at times out of control. I raised a family, had a normal life and career in financial management. I was able to retire at 56 years old. Then in my early 60's, it seemed as though, my entire personality changed. I seem to be coping well. Thanks to God and the gift of prayer.

Thanks for listening,

Harry (Rasty46)
