Cebellar Ataxia- life span?

Do people that have Acute Cebellar Ataxia ( caused from the flu). After they are well, what is their lifespan, usually?  Is it normal?

hi,

glad to   see you post here.
Can I ask , have you  or some one been ill and hav e ataxia?
if you wanntt to explain more that would bee helpful.

Do keep in mmine, the forum here is not a dr forum, patients supporting eachother.
I'm not so familiar with the acute type brough on by illness or injury.
I did a little search and did not see anything where from the acute ataxia itself would short ones life span. Maybe  if the underlying cause for the ataxia has reason to sshorten the life it would.
What hhas your doctor  said about it?

Many of the herediatry    types even do not shorten life span.
Complications like choking or falls could make    a higher riisk of doing so.

I hope  this helped at all and hear from you again.
Tak  e care, amo

Hi

I have some form of Cerebellar Ataxia. Its not fully diagnosed yet but its suspected its hereditary. I've only experienced symptoms which effect me for about 4 years now (I'm 24). My Doctor is still trying to come up with a way/treatment to help me, I've had loads of tests! Have you had an ECG? This was one of the first tests I had (it came back normal :)).As yours was brought on by the flu I don't see why it should shorten your life span., I certainly don't consider mine to be shortened!
