Neurology Help spinocerebellar ataxia

Hello again,

I am 28 yr old male I posted a few weeks ago talking about my problems in the MS forum. Well it seems I am actually negative for MS so says my neurologist. Yet after reviewing my films and tests he states that I have something called Friedreich's ataxia which seems more serious than the MS. IF anyone has any information about it that may help me or you may know someone with it, please let me know about what to expect or medications and treatments that are available.

Thanks

MCMA
