Hello Wilbur and welcome to NeuroTalk.
I am sure you will find many on NeuroTalk who deal with Ataxia, myself included. My problems are a result of a Neurological Disease but there are different causes for Ataxia. Information about Ataxia: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0003682/ |
Glad I found you
]Help is the only word that comes to mind, after trips to Mayo in Jacksonville, Duke University and finally Johns Hopkins my diagnosis is episodic Ataxia.
They have prescribed a medication that treats altitude problems as well Ive been taking that for about 2 weeks now with some good results. I have been battling this problem for about 4 years and I am really tired of the process My Doctor at Hopkins has recommended genetic testing but Im a bit wary of the $14,400 price tag with results not guaranteed I was wondering if anyone has tried the drug discs behind the ears that help with balance and is sold in bait stores for motion illness. Any help will be appreciated and bless you for helping. |

I suffered from Ataxia before
Quote:
I had Ataxia when I drank 2 liters of Diet Mountain Dew within an 8 hour period. It was really scary and ended up going to the hospital. It turned out that I had a chemical imbalance and too much caffeine and chemicals from the preservatives/additives from that much of the soda. Meg |
