Does anyone know a cure for cerebellar ataxia?


A friend is experiencing this baffling condition and the docs don't know what is causing it. They believe his cerebellum is shrinking causing coordination problems, speech impairment/slurring, unsteady gait. He does not know anyone with the condition. It seems to be progressing and he's been told by docs he could end up in a wheel chair. As a child he had Gilliam Beret disease, a disease that destroys nerve tissue. He was paralyzed at age 13, had therapy and fully recovered. He is now 45 years of age, otherwise healthy--perhaps intolerant of wheat and dairy, but a healthy European male living in the U.S.

There is no known cure for cerebellar ataxia.

Has he been seen by the best specialist in that disease?
