Hello my friends, if I may address you as such…….I was diagnosed with Ataxia by my Neurologist in Febuary this year, although I’ve had the symptoms for as long as I can remember, but he didn’t say which Ataxia it is?
my elder Brother told me recently, when I was born, I had body tremors, and looked like a skinned rabbit…….. to my knowledge, no other member of my family had Ataxia, and I was the youngest son of seven sons.
I have to use furniture, walls and doorframes to get around indoors, and it doesn’t help having Dropped Foot Syndrome.
My local council recently asked me if I still needed the Disability Parkin bay outside my house, and will my condition improve?? What don’t they understand when I tell them there’s no cure, and Ataix will only get worse.
I apologise for a long post.

Hi Don, Isn't it anger-making when these idiots ask silly questions like that. In any case, I believe that even if you weren't disabled, outside your house you should have a parking bay. When are they going to cut the c**p and give elderly people their dues? I'm happy to say that today I got the good news that I have been awarded blue badges. It's a Saturday so I can't pay for it today and get that bit out of the way. I have to wait until Monday when I have plenty of other things to do.
When they come to renew them I'll be five years older and while the latest wedge fracture may have healed, I might well have had another one by then. If not follow in my cousin's footsteps and have a crumbling spine. The only end to pain is well . . .
Hi Sherena…… I have too many medical problems to mention here, most are controllable, most are curable, but one has no known cure….. I am 80 years old now, I tend to put my medical problems to the back of my mind and get on with living my life as best I can.
I am thankful for waking every morning, I get through by enjoying music, I used to post music here, and got a good response from other members, but one member complained to Admin saying musin was inappropriate for this site, Admin banned me from posting music
sorry about my email, unfortunately the shaking got the better of me and replied before had a chance to end my post. Please excuse my mistake.. All the very best done and thank you for your lovely posts
