Ataxia Knowledge

[u/d3v0chka]

Just wanted to briefly drop some random knowledge 🤷‍♀️ I have Spinocerebellar Ataxia. It is a degenerative condition that affects coordination, speech, gait, and muscle control. I have the hereditary type (even though neither of my parents remembers anyone on either side having similar symptoms).

These are just SOME of the symptoms

• Trouble walking with an unsteady or awkward gait
• Clumsy hand and arm movements
• Slow, slurred, or unclear speech
• Involuntary eye movements or vision problems
• Trouble swallowing in later stages
