Short tempered

[Knittlng]

I have recently found myself on a short fuse can I blame Ataxia for this.? In the past , I would do anything to avoid an argument.

[PatsyIpswich]

Yes go with the flow and accept that you can't control how things are done. Xx

hi It’s no wonder you feel as you do this illness takes so much of life away from you. My son has cerabeller ataxia he is 47 it has stopped him living his life he gets angry and frustrated I know many people say you just have to cope with it but living with or with someone who has it is very hard . My kindest wishes to you and try to keep strong xx

I get so angry, unreal...I suppose,it mis quite a lot as copeing mechanism go, whatmcan drive me nuts is peoples stupidity,very thick attitude-apathy mainly.

I have a very mild temperament but on occasions I can suddenly burst into angry episodes. I have a Cerebellar Ataxia with Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome, (CCAS) attached to the condition. This affects thinking and emotions so this explains my own personal moods.

Yes. ataxia.org.uk/wp-content/up...

Yes my Beth has had low mood/ short fuse in recent years and on her last Consultant visit we discussed it as part of her cerebellum degeneration. I've actually got an appointment with GP about it next week and think we will be referred.

Yes. As your cerebellum controls your emotions, the more damage it receives, the more you can't control it.

Yes
