I only had one episode of ataxia.
I was walking up to a friend's front door and did fine until I got to the steps. I tried and tried to lift my leg up onto the step but they wouldn't move so I decided to go back to my car. I tried to turn around starting with my right leg but I couldn't move it. I tried my left leg and although I could move it, I could only go in a circle because I could only move my left leg and ended up in the street yelling for help get me in my car. I haven't been diagnosed as having ataxia since that episode, but I do fall a lot and have weakness in my legs, but I attribute the falling to 60 years of taking seizure medicine. I also have muscle coordination problems maybe caused by ataxia or likely by my seizure medication.
Do you know the cause of your ataxia? Mine is believed to be caused by seizure medications.
Take care,
