Hi folks, I am doing slow motion things as fast move isn't possible any more. It makes me falling if i do. And top of it my lower back lumber space is quite stiffed and cant move freely. Does anyone experiencing the similar happenings. Wonder to know if Is it normal in Ataxia?

My GP prescribed lavadopa/carbidopa/entacapone 50/12.5/200 X 2 per day dose, 8 weeks ago along with CQ10 100 mgX 2 per day.

At times, I have the same problem. I can often only do things in slow motion. It is aggravating.

Thanks for your input, Actually, I feel stiffness in my lower back lumber spasm, which is why unable to move fast. Believe if the pain and spasm vanish, i might have better movements. Do you feel the same way or you have just slow moves ?

what if you try to move fast. I mean does it painful or without pain?

If I try to move faster, I get uncoordinated, and sometimes fall. It doesn’t hurt so much, but it’s more like a loss of control. If I move slower, I’m able to control my movements better. If I try and move faster, inevitably I will mess up. I’ve banged my head, several times, trying to hurry, and move faster. It’s sort of like my ability to move faster, is compromised, and I lose spatial awareness, or something. It’s most disconcerting!

Thanks for elucidation, I got my limb stiffness and that is accompanying me with movements. Reading researches and studies for making it moved freely. Ali reading exercise therapies stuffs with dietary guide lines. I am not interested add more medicines to my existing dose.
