Hi Jim,
Sorry hear all that you have been through. Did you have a hemorrhagic or an Ischemic stroke. Sounds as though your Ataxia is progressive. Mine wasn’t. It was a one time thing which happened about 20 or so years ago. Although it appeared quickly I believe that I had a subacute Ataxia which actually is caused over time but manifests itself as an acute episode. I think it was caused by seizure damage because not long before that I was in an induced coma due to Status Epilepticus. I also wonder since I have a shadow on my MRI which some say is an old mild stroke, if that could be the cause. My doctor at the time had a brain smaller than a nats.
After I got out of the hospital I never had problems again.
Are your symptoms getting better, worse or the same?
Wishing you the best,
Jake

I see. It happened, but as an episode, not an ongoing condition. Actually, I don't think mine is going to progress. Seems to be strictly the result of braindamage. It was an Ischemic stroke. It's been 3 years since stroke. No worse, no better.

"....doctor had a brain as big as a gnat's." LOL! Thanks for the laugh. Sounds like you've been through it. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Have a good day!
