I think this was posted by wobblybee. It was entitled “how I describe my diagnosis of ataxia “ it was posted 3 years ago. I found it very accurate.

I found it. Wonderful! Going to produce my own version as a homage.

🤔 I searched AtaxiaUK..and frustratingly couldn’t find a link to either ‘mentions’.

But I empathise in ‘dispute’ over diagnosis.

I was initially given a diagnosis of Epilepsy, and this muddied the waters for several years..until I started having falls.

🤔 I’ve had testing relating to my medical history and symptoms, all negative…and I have no family history but….I am enrolled for Whole Genome Sequencing, this may be offered to you.
