Well I have ataxia got diagnosed a year ago. Over the last 5 years I thought I was clumsy I would fall out of no where or fall in the streets. Always starred up my knee got alot of bruises. It took me to get check out when family came over and I fall down the stairs and they told me I had to get checked out they are worried. And I got a MRI and my cerebellum is really small. When I got the news I cried for a bit knowing that my cerebellum and my balance wants coming back. Over the last 6 months I fell about 20 times like I don't know to walk anymore. Part of those 20 I fell down the stairs 5 times. Started speech therapy but I always had a speech problems sinece I was little so I felt like that wasn't going to help much. What I really like is physical therapy. I'm really sad there is no care. I was told I could end up in a wheelchair. I guess I'm asking for help how to deal with this.
