I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia five years ago. I have an ataxic gait, significant balancing issues, cognition issues, nystagmus, double vision, speech issues, swallowing issues, mild tremors. All typical aspects of Cerebellar Ataxia. A couple years back my neurologist referred me to Mayo for MSA testing after I ‘failed’ the DAT scan on levels of natural levodopa. I passed all the tests so I do not have MSA. However, since my DAT scan results I have been labeled with Parkinsonism…not particularly Parkinson’s. Any thoughts on what Parkinson disorder I might have?

I have been disgnosed wiyh Cerebellar Ataxia, and Parkinson’s Disease. I do not have nystagmus not cognitive issues, but I do have symptoms like yours, with trouble swallowing, double vision, and mild tremors. I have other typical Parkinson’s Disease symptoms, and have been on carb/levodopa for 7 years.

My mom has Parkinsonism. She is 69 very healthy, no way to treat or stop progression, losing her ability to speak or articulate her words. I know she's suffering being pretty sound minded and still running circles around me. Seems to get worse w stress and later in day tired.
