Bones said… - My name is Michael Jones and a member of the Orange County Ataxia Support Group in CA.. I have started up a new web site called American Ataxia Networking, Americans helping Americans with Ataxia. The web address is http://americanataxianetworking.ning.com/ Please come over and join and become a member!! It's like Living with Ataxia.org but most of the people are from England there so the this site is for Americans only. We will do different things they are doing like live Doctors doing live chat where anyone can ask questions. Plus Doctors joining and writing Blogs and add discussions. WE plan to have more medical professionals join also like PT/OT. Dave from Orange County CA.just made up a group for us you can make a group up for your chapter also and post events,discussions, chat, e-mail, blog. video, photos and share with all other members too. NAF.org has endorsed our site already and will post it under their links page, but won't be up until the 1st of the year. We just opened the site up in late Nov. of this year so as you can see we are new but will soon be the site to go if you live in America.We just hired a project specialist and have people already from ny to ca. and from tx. to Canada so the word is spreading out fast. We are averaging a person a day joining. Hope to see you there. The word is getting out please be a part of it!!! Michael Jones

- Dave, Yes, I really like Dr Lynch. He is the only neuro that calls me back right away and seems to care about making my quality of life as good as it can be.
Right now, I am off all meds and have been on a gluten free diet for just over a weeks.. I have had a great couple of days, no major episodes...time will tell if this gluten diet works or if I am just in a good cycle. The only vitamins that I am taking are B12. I am also doing a kinesiology every two weeks. I have been to the support group in Norristown once, but with my boys schedules it is hard. I am planning on coming in March.

TERI KEMPER said… - hi dave, dr. wilmot is the doctor associated with my support group here in atlanta. i was seeing a different neurologist, but since he was the pro i switched. more than physical, he helps just by knowing what's going on. he is always ready to prescribe something for symptoms, but he knows i don't like meds, so he doesn't push. and he's open to alternative treatments (diet, exercise, sleep, etc...)
