The winter months make a big difference to people suffering from ataxia. I usually get up at 6am do a 10 mile run, lift some seriously heavy weights, have a cold shower a pint of milk with 6 raw eggs and spend the rest of the day doing charity work.
In the winter it gets that bad I can hardly crack the eggs 👹

I do a lot of exercise and lots of long distance wheelchair pushes outdoors. Last winter I did not have much of a problem with the cold. This cold season so far it has really impacted my Ataxia. I'm wondering if part of the reason is because I have lost a lot of weight and therefor lost insulation, or if its just another sign my Ataxia is getting worse.
