Hello  
I have Ataxia Telangiactasia and I currently live in Southeast Michigan I was wondering if anyone found that living in a dry climate such as Arizona helped ease symptoms?

Hi 🙂I live in the UK…which doesn’t answer your question 😂 But…I correspond with a friend diagnosed with ataxia, she moved to Arizona…and she likes it.

As far as I know, a dry climate does nothing.

We moved to Arizona from Colorado over two years ago. I still have Ataxia but I don’t worry about slipping on ice during the winter months, I swim almost six months of the year, and I’ can walk, with a rollator, most anytime.

🙂It’s good to know it’s been a benefit.  
The weather can have a big impact on mobility…particularly in winter months.  
I live in the UK…and wish we enjoyed warmer weather 🙂.

I live in AZ moved here in 2014. The only benefit is getting out of snow and ice. I’m not house bound due to snowy weather. I get around ok but use a cane, rollator and electric chair. Sometimes the heat will make me unstable. The pluses far out way the cons. Loving it here.
