I'm 32 and just diagnosed with ataxia, pure cerebella kind.

I've also got a 4 week old little girl so time is very precious. soi find that while cleaning my teeth I either do on one leg, or with my feet together and my eyes closed, it surprised me how much better the day is if I start of with that.

Also it's well know that weights can help with CNS firing, however get done advise before starting weights, I'm OK with them at the moment and I find the extra strength is a bonus.

The other thing that the neurologist asked me to do was get a Wii and play the balance games, it has helped but I wish the system faster as a whole as it's designed for children and family and not as a therapy tool...

Anyway just my view, whatever you do keep moving forward :)

I went gluten free after I saw a kinesiologist and although I had the gluten blood tests they do with ataxia nothing showed up but it had an amazing effect and it has definitely slowed progression radically. I have a dog and walk 2 x daily, recently given up alcohol (apparently a no-no when you have ataxia but only just found out. Do physio and exercise daily. I definitely feel lots of my problems have been helped by developing muscle memory. It sucks the knowledge that I will have to do certain things most days for the rest of my life but it is much better to feel I am doing something to help myself. Good luck.

I've heard nothing but good results from going gluten free. And, like you, my gluten blood tests were negative.

But this sounds like something to definitely try.

Thanks,

Iain
