Patsy,
no,just ask the nurogolist for testing of a particular type of SCA for it to be ruled out? Hope this information helps.but be warned these bood test can take a long time to get any results!!!
thanks Lorraine. We are moving home tomorrow and wont have internet or phone about three days so. I am going to be feeling a little tired to put it mildly but very excited.

Good luck. Marios H. done the same for me,sent to lab in Newcastle.
He suspected HSP7, as my leg muscles were stiffening - it was POSITIVE.
I am seeing a Genetic counsellor (second time around, the first was for Ataxia)
this diagnosis could well be "on top" of Ataxia or "as well" as Ataxia
