yes i was tested for hereridetry Ataxia when i was diagnos,as having 3 children i was quite concerned for there future since i already had Rhumatiod Arthris! The simple blood test i had was ok,results take longer than normal blood test,but the results were worth the wait as my family were in the clear so to speak!!!!!!
