Cerebral Brain Atrophy: Anyone else out there?

I was recently diagnosed with cerebellum atrophy with no known cause. I am 49 yrs old. I refuse to use a cane at this point but I fall frequently, without warning. I don't know what my prognosis is and I am not sure I want to know. I don't see activity since January, so I am hoping I get a response.

Rosemary,
I don't have a cane at this point. I am not sure it will prevent falls but could be a greater hazard in a fall.
@ldrake101, This makes sense! I guess I misunderstood your mention about the cane.

@ldrake101, Welcome to Connect. While I am not informed about your condition, I can identify with your fear of a new diagnosis and questions about the future. (Mine was transplant related) You have come to the right place to seek some answers from the experiences of others who share your diagnosis.
While you are waiting for their responses, I want to encourage you to use that cane. You do not need to fall and cause yourself any avoidable injuries. I had to use a walker and a wheel chair, and although a blow to my ego - it did protect me from falling and tripping.
