I’d like to share with you the best advice I ever received regarding Ataxia. I hope that you find it helpful as well.

Either you can let it overwhelm you or you can continually try to overwhelm it! FYI, I chose the latter. I was 21 when I first developed Ataxia and I turned 74 last May.

Thanks @Chas521 for sharing your inspiration.  
For me it is the same, it seems like everyday I’m fighting a battle in a war that is going to last my whole life.

Thank you so much for that advice. Sometimes it does feel overwhelming especially since I have issues with anxiety.
