Anyone else here do genetic testing, an MRI, an EMG, and consistently meet with their neurologist, only for them to tell you that they cannot give you a diagnosis, or is this just me? Mind you I have had progressive lower extremity weakness (including footdrop) since my late 30s, progressing to complete lack of balance, and relegation to a rollator for walking.
Did they find any problem with your cerebellum?

Nothing as of yet. Everything was normal.
If it were the cerebellum they would see that quickly via MRI. There is another similar problem called Gluten Ataxia. Try a Gluten free diet.
I appreciate the wisdom. Thank you.

Don’t expect immediate results from a Gluten free diet. Usually takes a few months to see any results if that’s the culprit.

I had a genetic test with my sister and now it has been determine I have Niemann pick Type C instead of SCA 2. I should have known something was up, my cerebellum never changed
For me they found nothing in the genetic testing.
Did you look up Gluten-free diet on the internet? A friend of mine is on that diet. Plenty to eat and much variety.
Looking that up today.
