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

Hello Noreen,
Your continued strength, as well as perspective, will see you and your husband through this time. Prayers are going your way!
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.
I am sory, but there exists no kmown cure or treatment for this condition. It's hard , but one must learn to live with it.
Alex
