I have been to 7th Neurologist and not one of them has come out and said "You have Ataxia, Parkinson or anything else".

Finally a therapist said maybe your Cerebellum Cells are dieing off to quickly which makes you weak, tremors, cannot walk without a rollalator, sometimes cannot even walk, hands shake when trying to feed myself, cannot stand without someone holding on to me, headaches, poor vision. I told my last Neurologist this and he said that probably is right come back in 4 months to see how you are doing. I have had these symptoms since 2006. I also passout without any warning and fall.

I am 82 years old. Does anybody know the life span of somebody with Ataxia?

Mam if you are 82 yrs old I am so happy for you that you hve only had to deal with this for a few years. I myself have no clue what the life span is but I have heard people say that you can be born wuth this and live a long time. I don't even know if a doctor would know th question. I wish you well Mam.......take care and God Bless.
