The first thing my neurologist asked about was my blood sugar level.  That is the only blood work she requested.  Which suggests to me that going off sugar may help?  I was so stunned at my diagnosis…Continue

Another tip I have on natural meds is Remedy spray when you get upset. It helps calm you down. I used to use a few sprays under my nose or on my shirt before an MRI which really helped me stay calm.

I also use a squirt some on my dogs cest when she gets freaked out, and it helps her be more calm. :0)

I just thought I'd pass this allong so someone could try it.

When I tend to get stiffer or my mucles either cramp up of just plain hurt I find that I run to ARNICA gel/cream and slather it on where it hurts really hard to where it kinds hurts, not lightly because I want to get the gel into layers of my body. Sometimes if it's really bad I'll do it a 2nd time after it dry's but I love this stuff! I try not to use it for everything but it's sooo tempting. This works for me.

I keep one in the car glove box in case the kids (or me) bump a knee etc so I apply it lightly in that case so it won't bruse.

I've taken Arnica pills (very little desolve under the tung) before a surgery so I won't bruse. It works!  :0) check this out even generic form works great. I've gotten it on Amazon, or health food store like Whole Foods!

Towel dry!

Tip: After taking a shower make sure you sit down before drying your feet! Do not attempt towel drying your feet while standing up and bending over! (lesson learned! lol!)

Finally.......

Hi all, I went to the doc's and she asked how the 'tremors' were.  After reading a lot of posts on here on AtaxiaUK site I had a brainwave, (albeit a small slow one ;)) and asked her for a pen and some paper.  I told her that I was going to write…

How rare is Ataxia?

Posted by Mary on May 3, 2013 at 8:25pm 17 Comments

I have only recently started getting the shuffling feet & imbalance. How rare is Cerebellar Ataxia? Do I need a specialist in this disorder? Is it even possible to regain a "normal" gait?
