Cerebellum atrophy: No known cause. What do we do?

Posted by nhawse @nhawse, May 22, 2019

My husband was diagnosed in February. We still don’t know the cause. The doctors are leaning towards genetic. We still do not know the prognosis or how fast it will go. He is 48. Use to be a police officer. He is taking it hard. We have only been married for 2.5 months. Some days he does fine or days he can hardly walk. We just don’t know what to do if anything.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases Support Group.

Thank you for the letters of encouragement and prauers for us. He see!s resigned to his fate and we are so grateful that this did not happen when he was still working or when we had kids in college!!!

Hello, @howardjames and @nhawse - thinking of you both today and wondering how things are going.

@howardjames - how is Howard? How are you doing?

@nhawse - have you and your husband been able to learn any more about the cause of his cerebellum atrophy or prognosis? How is his walking going?

We are doing fine? No we have not found the cause of his atrophy. His walking is becoming more difficult. He is using cane more often.
