Yup, that's me!  It does say on their website that if you have Ataxia as a result of MS or other disease process, then you should visit the MS site.

just when you think M.S. is confusing and craZY.. throwing an Ataxia dx ion the loop make the day never boring!
i have lost my second    movement disorder  doctor reccenly.  I ett   my new replacemtnt, and seems to step right in.

my latest     scann show more 'signifcant cerelebbar attrophy' . my   doctors have never  ever  given up tring finding the root dx oof my Ataxia. They are always comin gup with   new anglees. I am thankf ul for that.

I get along fairling well,thanks. Noo significant falls or injuries.
I feel so fortunatte i have been healthy and always enjoy whatever i am able to do. Summer has been great to have some outtings and enjoying the sunshine.

I try to read the forum still, and keeping up with things.
