I nave CANVAS taxia do you have some idea how i can slow down?

[@il3mendo]

I have gluten ataxia and an upper motor neuron called hereditary spastic paraplegia. Both of the diseases overlaps with their symtoms. What helped me was finding my celiac disease diagnosis, high supplementation with Vitamin E/D/A end electrolytes such potassium, zinc, magnesium and manganese. With the high fat diet the homocysteine decreased down to normal levels. And also my dislypidemia and fasting glucose/insulin came back in normal range

[@il3mendo]

The upper motor neuron disease is due to Arginine/cysteine mutation.

[@davidmondragon7616]

Wife has sca 2 and she's really sensitive to lights and loud or too much going on around her surrounding. Is that normal with ataxia or is this that could be from something else.

My Ataxia was minor and stable until I got the Covid vaxx. Now I'm falling all the time and tremors are worse.
