[Ostap]

Has anyone had their Cerebellar Ataxia re diagnosed as Wilson’s Disease? It’s apparently difficult to diagnose, but the neurological symptoms are similar.

‘Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excess copper stored in various body tissues, particularly the liver, brain, and corneas of the eyes’

My friend has it, but I'm not sure how they diagnosed it.
