Can you have alcohol induced ataxia ten years after your last drink? My electro muscle tests were normal.

Thanks Eric, I think I’m alright as far as alcohol inducement goes. I read the article. I was not addicted phisiologically. And I do have upper body and speech problems. Thanks again. Jericroth
