This is my second post on this topic. I urge people to take this information to their neurologist and discuss the findings. The way this medication works may make it a good candidate for some ataxias. At a minimum people who have diabetes AND ataxia should most definitely talk to their doctors about this medicine as it is currently available for diabetes.

The studies below are in Parkinson, Alzheimers, and Huntingtons. What these diseases have in common are protein aggregation which is common in many ataxias as well. This could be HUGE. Please, please, read and then print this information and take it to your doctor.

"They also asked the question ‘if Exenatide works for Parkinson’s, then why not other neurodegenerative disorders (such as, Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis) or other neurological diseases (including cerebrovascular disorders, traumatic brain injury)."
