I’m near Allentown, PA. My condition used to change with the weather but now I believe it’s just getting worse in general. I need to speak with the doctor about possible change in medication . My therapy starts next week which should greatly help. Hang in there bud. It’s a tough fight but we are here to help support you. ---

Hi Bobby, I am also in NJ but like Geri said “My condition used to change with the weather but now I believe it’s just getting worse in general” and you are absolutely correct in saying PT SHOULD help but it does not for me. In fact I get worse no matter how many times I do it. Hang in there! ---

FYI - PT changed my life, but make sure your therapist specializes in neurological conditions not orthopedic. I’m walking better, falling less. They may not be able to improve your condition but they can give you tools to use. ---

1 thing they did for me was to be more aware when i do about to fall witch does help a lot. but in some patients it is a proven fact that sometime times it helps at times ---

Bobby, Yes, CA from about 15 years Dilatin use. is that what yours in from? I don’t find PT helpful either. It’s frustrating. ---

> [@bobby](#): > > [camper1211@comcast.net](mailto:camper1211@comcast.net) Hi Bobby, thanks for your message! I sent you an email-I hope you get it. I’m off Dilantin now but too late. Have been diagnosed with severe CA a few years ago. I just recently started dealing with this-the first year I was in shock and didn’t do anything about it. ---

Hi;Ron from Michigan,like many,I feel that weather greatly affects my Ataxia.A lot has to do with my fear of slipping in the snow & ice. ---

I live in NYC and find CA annoying and frustrating. PT’s really don’t help much. In fact, nothing helps. I agree that PTs make you more aware of your movements. I don’t buy all the talk re philosophy snd/or psychology bull. Right now I am in Jerusalem, Israel. I am trying to assess whether vertigo and dizzinessss r the same, N ---

Neta, for me, vertigo was much, much more severe-whenever I turned around I almost lost consciousness and had no control over my legs. I don’t find PT helpful either. I haven’t been to Jerusalem in so long-I’m jealous! ---

Bobby, I know that ataxia dizziness is here to stay. But the vertigo comes from a head fall, I think. Who can deal with this??? N [Next page](https://forum.livingwithataxia.org/t/does-anyone-live-in-the-tri-state-area-of-n-j/5664.md?page=2)
