cerebellum degeneration
by SANJAY1967, Jan 02, 2008 05:39AM
Sanjay1967- my wife get this hereditory from her father but till the age of 28 no symptons were seen. One day she fall down in stairs on poste-head and she injured but there was no bleeding. Blood clott was clearly visible at that time for a few days. This indoor accident trigurred ataxia and situation get more dull by the passing age. I consulted with many neurologists and other physians but get feed back that rate of degeneration may be slow down with the lifelong application of chemotherapy,psychiatry and physiotherapy but completely pause or recovery is quite impossible, thus she cannot get rid of this ataxia. Now she is 37 and walks slowly in house only with wall gripping. At present the condition is too worst that she cannot held any support other than the housewalls.
Economicaly I am converted to a under povertyline Indian and All medical consultants disappointed me, I hear about this forum and felt God raised his hands for me.
please suggest me that will I lose my dear wife or there is a way to save her life and a hope that I may see her running and playing again. May you provide me help in INDIA?

It seems from your description that your wife has developed progressive ataxia, which her father also had.
It is more likely that the ataxia caused her to lose balance and sustain injury, and not the fall which trigerred her ataxia.
I do not know her imaging or nerve conduction reports, nor the results of her physical examination, so cannot comment on the type of ataxia she is suffering from. You have mentioned cerebellar degeneration, but please post additional details about cardiac status, foot deformities, eyeball occilation (nystagmus) etc. This would help at narrowing down the diagnosis.
Vitamin B and E supplements may help her.
Which city do you reside in?
All the best.
