Hello Rita,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

There are some older posts here in the forums from people who have been diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia. If you use the search feature that I post below you can type in keywords and it will bring up those threads and posts.

NeuroTalk Forum Search Feature

You could maybe start a new thread in either
Movement Disorders Forum
or in
General Health Conditions and Rare Disorders Forum

I would make the title "Spinocerebellar Ataxia" the same as you did here and that way if people are searching for this particular condition the thread will come up in the search more easily.

Is there any family history of ataxia or have you had any genetic testing to determine a particular "Type" of spinocerebellar ataxia that you could have (as some are hereditary as you would know).
