    I'm actually crying right now. I am so glad I found your channel. I had the left half of my cerebellum removed due to an avm. I had a procedure done, but everything went wrong and I had to have emergency brain surgery and they just removed the whole left side of my cerebellum.. I woke up completely paralyzed. I had to relearn how to walk and talk. I was in my early 20s, so I was too old to get help if I was a child and I was too young to get help if I was a senior. I was in a lost area. I have done and tried many things. I have been to many physical therapists, but they don't do anything to help all of the issues I have. This definitely includes balance issues as well as ataxia. My surgery was 16 years ago, but I want to do everything I can to be the best version I can be. I think I'm going to look into a neuro physical therapist. I honestly didn't know this was a specialty. I have really been let done by all of the professionals I feel. I still try to keep a positive attitude and try to live my life the best I can. Sorry this was so long. I am just overwhelmed and blessed that I found you. Thank you.

      I'm so sorry you have had this problem for so many years - I feel sorry for myself and I've only had it for 1.5 yrs. I finally saw a Neurologist last year and he actually gave me a diagnosis of Spinocerebellar Ataxia, what a relief that was to finally have a diagnosis. He can't do anything to help but it might be useful for you to look at all these replies. I do wish you all the best with your recovery and I hope you get your life back. Warmest regards, Carol

I guess power is knowledge I am grateful everyday for a lot of things. But I'm not sure if this is permanent or not yet, I hope not. Thank you for all of your comments I don't feel alone

I "graduated " from Home Health last month and am going to a PT at an office now. Standing in a corner with feet just wide enough not to fall was my first exercise, and then I got to the point where I could stand with feet touching each other. I am glad to be reminded--still need to do it. I also started going to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist.

Thanks God that Malformation was removed back in December 2019 and we are back to training. Based on what you mention in this video and now I remember some of the therapists lingo that of course I didn't know what they were saying and have to asked them again and again it looks that it is a matter of time...and training. I can see now why the Dr. In Physical Medicine and the Neurologist are so positive when they both told me it will be fine as soon all that area gets healed... Thank you, God Bless you.

I was dx’d by a geneticist last year at age 51. Both my teen girls have it as well, but both suffer much more than I did at their age. It breaks my mama heart. I wish more docs were knowledgeable about EDS!! I’ve been accused of making things up my entire life by both family and doctors (dx as either “conversion disorder”, or just flat out lying). So, truly, thank you for believing us, educating us and educating other providers!!!

    I have been diagnosed with Ataxia based on the shaky and jerky movements of my left arm. My left side suffers from hemiparesis due to a hemorrhagic stroke suffered in September 2023. My left leg doesn’t seem to be affected. I really appreciate you addressing this as there is little information out there about how to treat it including from my medical and therapy team. That is frustrating as it has greatly impacted my recovery and day to day living. My left arm knocks things over when I’m trying to prepare meals or keeps me from tying a shoelace, carrying anything etc. #ataxia.

I have seen 4 Neurologists and take every test known to medicine(that was the quote from the last Doctor) but he said "what you have will not get better but will probably get worse maybe PT will help" but wont diagnose as Ataxia. only Ataxia Doctor here in Metro Atlanta gave apt for July 2023. I can't walk with out staggering, stairs I must have helper. This has been coming on since my Extensive Spine Surgery. I have been a professional Ballet Dancer and and Gymnast ( came to late to that game). I have to get this out to someone who UNDERSTANDS. I have started doing your exercises for several issues.

    #Ataxia SCA2 I was diagnosed with SCA2 back in May of this year. I am currently seeing a physical therapist to help with my balance issues. The exercises in this video are similar to others I've seen for slowing down the effects of SCA2. Thank you so much for the video and bringing attention to this disease. Pray for me and others as we fight the effects of Ataxia.

      @@donreed5358 I had a hemorrhagic stroke in 2013 and had no balance problems until 18 months later. After having an MRI scan it was found I developed a rare condition caused by the stroke called "Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration" causing severe balance loss, Nystagmus and a right arm intention tremor. I'm working every day on Dr Tobias's exercises and slowly seeing improvements during the exercises but still have the constant fear of falling out in the street.

    Hi. My name is Sabah. I am from Africa. Your videos are a life changer for my brother who is a stroke survivor. We are a very backward country. Therapists do not believe in recovery. But my sister and I are reaching for the stars. We believe our brother will fully recover God willing. We thank God we found your videos. My brother is 36. He had his stroke 2 months ago. He lost ability to talk and has right side paralysis. The left side of his brain is fully destroyed. But we started your exercises a few weeks ago and pur brother is walking with a walker now. Our goal is to help him to master stairs cuz I live in 5th floor and I want to take care of him when he leaves the hospital. Please dr. Help me. And share your best tips for hand and arm recovery. God bless you. You are the best. Thanks and we are grateful forever.

      I also had a massive stroke one year now. I had the exact symptoms as your brother had. I am a nurse by profession. I still go to therapy twice a week. We don’t have neuro therapist close by. I found Dr Tobias’channel and I’ve been following her videos. She’s helped me with my recovery. I was able to go up and down the stairs with my husband’s assistance. It was difficult but the more he practice the more confident he becomes. I also lost my speech and right side paralysis. I wish him well.

    #ataxia Thank You! I have been trying to get community physio help with this for almost a year. Does anyone else have episodic ataxia as a result of a Covid infection? Mine comes and goes. Sometimes I can walk normally for a short time and then it becomes ataxic or it just happens when I get up in the morning or after sitting down for a while. I had M.E. With very slight ataxic gait before that. I also have slurred speech.

    • @lauragott2122

      Hello jojo! Yes, my ataxia is also intermittent. I am gluten intolerant and research says that gluten in all grains can cause neuro damage in those genetically susceptible. Check out Dr. Peter Osborne on You Tube. I also notice that my walking will be worse when I get fatigued. It is always mostly normal in the mornings. I too believe I have ME/CFS, as my brain feels inflamed often. I get migraine headaches with or without the inflammation feeling. The reason I am mentioning this is becuz I firmly believe that the latent Epstein-Barre virus, like Covid, is the main trigger for the inflammation that caused antibodies to attack my nerves. Working with GF/DF diet, supplements and now hoping these excercises will be helpful. Going to start on them ASAP! Hope you all benefit from them as well. Our brains are so important to health, must commit to protocols with determination for perseverance. Take care and Best wishes for your success!

    Dear Dr. Tara, many thanks again for a super video. I was fine with balance until 1 yr post stroke, getting foggy brain days with constant furniture walking. It turned out to be a lack of the E and D vitamins, which seem to deplete rapidly in healing processes. That was easy to fix.
    Not so easy to fix are balance problems when the foot rolls and cramps in the middle of the walking due to stress from noise and fright to fall.
    That is why I love your standing exercises in many of your videos. It is always back to square one, standing, recollecting strength and balance and then slowly moving on.
    So lots of greetings and thank yous from Germany again.

I'm fairly healthy. Been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes but not on any medication as the doctors told me I'm only slightly over what I should be.
