Do you have or know anyone who has ataxia, a crippling disease?


If so, what is there prognosis? How are they doing?

i was a podiatrist for 12 years and had just 2 patients with friedrichs ataxia, they often manifest with foot problems and that is why i was asked to treat them.
one of them was around 15 and had had it about 5 years, they could not walk or talk.
the other man was in his 50's and was apparently one of the oldest to ever live with the disease, he was in a bad way though.
i hope you do not have it. the prognosis is that people do not live beyond early adulthood

Never heard of it.
