I have been diagnosed with Ataxia (Spinal-Cerebellar Ataxia). I have read quite a bit about this condition. My question please, is I only have symptoms of Ataxia on my right side, if its Ataxia (as opposed to a Stroke), why are Ataxia symptoms only present on the right side?

@speechless623 You have recently been diagnosed with Ataxia but you question why the symptoms are only on your right side.

You will see that I have moved your question into a discussion where members have previously discussed Ataxia so you could more quickly connect and get support. Members like @IndianaScott @rmftucker @rivergirl8243 @jakedduck1 @Erinmfs have experience with this topic and may be a good resource for you. I also encourage you to scroll back through the comments to find previously shared suggestions.

May I ask what the process was like regarding receiving a diagnosis? What was the provider reasoning behind why only one side of your body experiences symptoms?
