Cerebellar ataxia

Cerebellar ataxia is an umbrella term for several different disorders usually affecting adults. Some people are affected out of the blue, some have ataxia as a secondary symptom of another condition and some have a dominantly inherited sort which means that any child of an affected parent has a one in two risk of carrying the gene and becoming a sufferer. Individuals vary in the severity of their symptoms, but all deteriorate and experience considerable disability.
Both of our Ataxias came out of nowhere, no genetic link has been found.
