Hi Litty, Thank you for you're message, I have been falling over for a few years now and have become quite practised at it....They say there is no cure at the moment, but I still wish you all......all the best.

When I joined the group, I got very few, if any replies to my posts, but since I've said I was leaving, I've receive about five or six comments from other members Murcia......now I'm in a quandary, do I go or do I stay......Thank you for you're best wishes.

I hope you stay, if you are having Ataxia problems. There's nothing like sharing and learning from others with similar problems!

Me too! Hello veteran welcome – you are a real life and we would be sorry for you to go! I have been quiet because I fell and banged my head, had a rubbish time at the hospital and then fell again and cracked a rib. I'm still not over any of it and feel awful – so whilst I have nothing positive to say, I thought I would keep quiet. However, knowing that these lovely people are out there and going through the same thing has helped me it's hard to accept, it's all hard! I'm 43 with two children and now have the energy and capabilities after a 90-year-old – no one really understands, but us lot!

Love and light to you all

Hi Mermaid, are you a mermaid?? We all have our off days, I'm nursing a broken left thumb at the moment.....and I decided to stay with the group, it's amazing how complete strangers on this group help you through the pain, and they do, so stay with us.

I'm no hero Mermaid, just an old veteran who served Queen and Country, proud to have done so, and would again, if I were able.

Per Ardua Ad Astra!

Indeed! What a great motto and good on you for serving Queen and country. You should be very proud of yourself.

I can't even carry a cup of tea ! And yes, throughout this year I have broken two fingers, broken my hand and hurt my foot, which won't heal..,! It's so inconvenient and just makes everything a bit more of a challenge. I hope yours is healing up okay?

It's so inconvenient and just makes everything a bit more of a challenge.

No one can keep us safe but ourselves, and it's hard to realise that even the simplest things can be treacherous!

and it's hard to realise that even the simplest things can be treacherous!

My ataxia is fromMS, so I have been slowly losing my legs for some time, but like a mermaid, I keep on swimming !

Counting blessings always is the way forwards, but it is easier said than done sometimes

Love and light to everyone
