    I was diagnosed with Spinocerebullar Ataxia in 2021. Symptoms appeared at age 52. However, the SCA is unknown. I see a neurologist at Columbia hospital once a year. But not knowing is very frustrating. My condition is getting worse. I did have DNA test done and results said not hereditary. Iam still in limbo & don't know what to do

    Thank you for your research. I know research takes many years before any kind of treatment is available to the public. I think any kind of treatment will be too late for my family member, but hopefully others will benefit.

    Stephanie, Me? My first time with Ataxia was when over a friend's apartment on the third floor and as I left his place, I started down the stairs. I fell down them to the next landing. He heard me, helped me down the rest of the steps. After reaching my place, fell down those steps also. I had to hold on the railing really hard just to use them. I my truck, I had to hold on to the steering wheel so that I wouldn't fall over. That was in 2006. I've been able to overcome a lot of the symptoms but still have to watch doing certain things. I can't dance, run, climb a latter or move very quickly, turn my head in a rush or look up in a quick manner but I get by. Sometimes, I might walk into a doorway and hit the frame. Pickle ball is out of the question! ha ha

    Dr. Susan, the first time I experienced Ataxia was at a friend's apt. i was ready to go down the stairs from his place and I tumbled down. Another three times let me know that something was wrong. A visit to my PCP, and an ENT, a neurologist and a couple more finally came up with correct problem. Three months of PT helped a lot. That was 12 years ago.
