I was diagnosed with SCA6 in 2018. Life has changed and I’m doing my best to adapt. Mostly I want to post videos that will help people in one way or another.

Hey everyone. It has been a while so I'm here to update stuff. Times are tough to say the least. I hope you are all hanging in as well as can be expected. Sorry for the language if you are offended, it's just the way it is.

Second Fall Running SCA6
Просмотров 2115 лет назад
This is a hard one to share. I’m not sure what to do here. I’m afraid to break something. I told my neurologist I would keep running till I started falling down. I just didn’t anticipate it happening this soon. #irunataxia #sca6 #altrarunning #running

Last week I had my first fall running since my SCA6 diagnosis. I have said I will continue to run till I can’t no more. That’s what I’m doing. Today I was successful in staying upright AND I added two miles to my run from last week #irunataxia #sca6 #running #altrarunning #patagonia
SCA6 You Are Not Alone

Hey everyone! If you have any questions about how I manage my Ataxia please feel free to message me, I'm happy to help if I can. Having Ataxia can and does suck but there are always steps we can take to make it better rather than worse. My dad is 80, he has SCA6, and he's still walking. How awesome is that? Hold on to the good and keep your head up, you are not alone. #SCA6 #spinocerebellaratax...
SCA6 Struggles Emotions

For those who don't know, I am a fitness coach and have always been very active, movement is my meditation. So having a neurodegenerative disease that will take away my ability to move and do the things I love is very hard. I can no longer ride bikes, something I have loved deeply since I was five years old. But I can still run and that is very much saving me right now.

SCA6 First Symptoms

This video describes what I noticed first before I was diagnosed with SCA6
Thanks for sharing your experience. I can relate . I hope ur doing well these days .
Is there a way to get in contact with you via email? My husband is starting to show symptoms and his mom and 3 aunts have this disease. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing that
How are you doing now? Are there medications to alleviate this condition? I hope you feel better.
Just finish speaking to a friend of mine who was suffering from Ataxia 🤒🤒for years but after a recommendation of MADIDAHERBALCENTER’s treatment to him, all his symptoms and ataxia was reversed with him completely restored to he normal self🎉🎉…
Thanks for making this video. I was diagnosed yesterday SCA type 6. I am a runner and work out too. This video helped me to know I can still do those things.
Hi, does anyone in your family had similar symptoms?
I inherited SCA6 from my dad. None of my siblings so far are showing symptoms.
@@MsFitnut Thank you very much for your answer
Haha tongue control.. could be a thing!
Good job justin bieber.
UMM
Great going Girl keep it up!
Super 👍👍👍 I am 99th like
Uhhh this is actually a thing I swear everything exists these days lol it looks tiring bet I would pass out in two seconds
This was nine years ago. At the time it seemed very easy. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with a rare disease that affects my movement and coordination and I can no longer even jog.
@@MsFitnut dang thats so sad
Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to your updates and stories. Hope you’re well.
Damnnnnnnnn GET IT!!!!
Hello Manda. I also have SCA , I have SCA type 3. I was diagnosed when I was 2 or 3 if I'm remembering correctly and my older brother was diagnosed when he was 6? I think.... We were both pretty young. I'm 23 years old now. But I haven't really done alot of research myself, because I've been kinda scared in the back of my mind. Your symptoms are very similar to mine. I guess I never really realized it wasn't normal. Growing up running was difficult, walking, so on and so forth and my head constantly shakes. So growing up these were normal to me. I'm currently doing research and trying to learn more
Flowers for Savi I’m sorry you have been dealing with this from such a young age and your brother too. I hope you both have a good support system and get to do things in life that bring you joy.
Just want to say that as a queer person who is currently being tested for SCA6 I am so grateful that the first video that popped up in my search is you. One of the first things I thought when I heard how rare this is was - no one who understands what it is like to have this will also understand being queer. Like suddenly I will be so different from my community that I built because I already felt so different. - you have given me some hope here - thanks for putting this up!
I completely understand. Finding out you have something like SCA6 feels very isolating because none of the people close to you can understand. Over time as the dust settles and you help educate your close friends and family they will hopefully be there to support you even though they don't know what you are going through. I am here if you need to talk or have questions. You are not alone.
I was in PT today, and it finally came to me. I was never afraid of anything. And now With SCA6 I am terrified. I know exactly how you are feeling at the moment. We just have to get back up, and continue with what we love. (Easier said than done) just keep moving. It might be slow, and modified. look for small victories when you have them.
Thankfully I meet with a team of Ataxia experts at Kaiser Sacramento and they are all in support of me pushing on and doing things that I love. Currently, because of the torn ligament in my shoulder thanks to this fall, I am unable to do anything but walk and lower body exercises. As soon as I am healed up I will go out for a run on a smoother surface. I am very scared to run again to be honest. I'm actually afraid to walk sometimes. But like you said we just have to continue on. Thanks for the support. I'm sorry you are dealing with SCA6 as well :(
Please be careful, don’t want broken bones, trust me
I managed to get a torn ligament out of the fall. I think broken bones heal faster!
I’ve had symptoms from birth but they didn’t know what is was back in prehistoric times lol. It didn’t really start to progress until about 2004 so I’ve been lucky. Always had balance problems, bad eyes and pain but no name for it. I don’t have a type but it seems mostly like the symptoms of SCA6 plus I’ve injured my spine from falls over the years so that’s stuffed too.
Ugh! I left a comment on your last vid but I'll leave another here. I'm so so sorry that this disease is getting in your way. As I said before, anytime you fall and get hurt it will most likely advance the disease even faster. So be careful. I'm glad you are active. I know running is your passion, however, maybe this could be vein of fitness you could explore to work around your disease instead of working against it. Try your hardest to keep your head up my dear. I know it can be infuriating and hopeless at times, but you are not alone. You have support and there are people all over cheering you on. Btw I'm NOT saying give up running, I'm simply saying explore tips and tricks with it. 😁
I did not know that about SCA6 advancing faster with falls. Thank you for letting me know. I have felt very tired and scrambled since yesterday. I think I will try flat smooth trails and see how that goes. If I fall on flats I will have to stop running. I really don't like falling. Thanks for the support, I really needed to hear that I'm not alone, though I know it it's still nice to hear.
My entire side of my maternal family including my mother and my brother have SCA 6. The more active you stay the more manageable your symptoms can be for some time. If don't use it you lose it. Dr. Ashizawa and Dr. Ondo (in Houston) are Ataxia specialists who are VERY familiar with SCA 6. I wish you the best of luck.
Hi Ashley, Thanks for the info and wishes. I'm doing my best to stay as active as possible. Unfortunately, I've fallen running twice in less than two weeks so I'm feeling a little beat up. But I will keep at it and adapt as things change.
@@MsFitnut I'm sorry to hear about your fall. Yikes! Try your best to avoid accidents like falls and breaks because its been proven that falls and serious injuries will actually speed up and advance sca 6. (It has to do with the proteins in your brain....lots of science stuff I could go on about lol) Try things with less risks, like stationary biking, weights, yoga (not complicated yoga. Lol) Hope you feel better soon though. I know it's got to be incredibly frustrating to have to deal with this.
Ashley what makes you think it has to do with the protein in the brain? My husband has been having symptoms for years. This year he went to a Neurologist who says he has SCA 6 or 10. His has progressed slowly until last year. Is there a place I can find more information?
I also have SCA and your symptoms are so similar, but I’ve had mine for a long long time
Hello. How old were you when you started noticing symptoms? Which SCA do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
LoL Salad tossing! I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one who can't process! My wife has a mind that is so fast, when she talks I get lost in it and I get angry at myself for not being able to keep up with her. I haven't tossed a salad... Ok a literal salad. But in my teens I have broken a lot of windows! Couldn't process emotions then. I see a complete parallel between your symptoms and the ones I have now. I'm not violent. But I get very angry when I can't cope with disagreements. It comes off like I'm mad at the disagreements. When in fact I'm mad at myself. Thank you for posting these videos! You are amazing!
Thanks for sharing. My daughter (14y) has SCA 6 or EA2 with interictal symptoms. We go to DC in May to figure which it actually is at an ataxia clinic. She and I both struggle with the emotional side of accepting the limitations or fear of the unknown. I truly appreciate your vulnerability and sharing your journey. I'm going to be sharing your channel with my daughter. I think you two are a lot alike and I love your resilient mindset as an example to her. Keep on Keeping on. Be well. ....Miranda and Lily from Chico, CA.
Hi Miranda, Thank you for the kind words. How is your daughter doing? I am going to ask my neuro about EA1 and EA2 for myself. I find that there are times lasting anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour where I feel super messed up and can barely walk. Is this what is happening to Lily? I hope you are both well.

Hello!! Thanks for making this video we need to talk about SCA. Both of my sons got the diagnostic of spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 just like their mom. Past year was hard for them and devastating for me. I saw their mom losing balance, not able to eat buy herself, language difficulties….. I though life would be nice to me and let my sons live their lives without this disease. I was wrong!!! I am still at accepting the situation but future is very scary for me. I experience this disease with their mom and now I need to stay healthy and clear of mind to be there for them when they will need me most.
Hi Yanick, I'm so sorry to hear about your wife and sons. This disease is very hard on the families and friends of people diagnosed as well. How are you all holding up?
Akate, A recommendation for your RLS symptoms is to ingest more iron. To avoid becoming constipated I recommend polysacheride iron that you should be able to purchase from Amazon.
Hello. I have a magnesium spray that works really well for the RLS. I also take a multi vit, vit d, vit e, CoQ10. All seem to be helping.
Thanks for sharing this . I also become depressed and it is something that appears from nowhere , for no real reason , apart from the entire background of having SCA6 . I was diagnosed in 2013 after an accident resulting in a broken leg which i did not recover from fully . The reason was the SCA6 . I find myself switching off in order to cope although anyone close to me ends up suffering due to this. I do this in order to ignore reality because it sucks . I take anti depressants but they just seem to cover up the fact that i'm pretty f*cked . I can still walk , somewhat awkwardly and notice how much i have slowed down , periodically . I used to be a musician but can no longer play very well as my coordination has deteriorated. There is little positive to say about SCA and i have nothing to add . I just hope that you have good friends and family for support . take care
Hi David. Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry, that's about all I can think of to say. SCA6 sucks completely, I agree. I oscillate between hoping that I can somehow keep it from getting worse and complete hopelessness. I had a horrible panic attack the other day, that was a new and tragic thing that I thought was going to kill me. I was washing my face and thinking about how much I miss riding bikes with my friends, next thing I was on the floor unable to move. It was a snowball kind of thing, "what's next" kept going through my mind and how will this be for my wife and the guilt I feel about slowly becoming a burden. My heart pounding, couldn't feel my lips, limbs went jelly. Now I'm afraid to think because I don't want anymore of that happening. I'm going to find a therapist, have you tired and had any luck with therapy?
No luck with therapy . Learning to deal with this condition in my own head is the only real way to cope. It is difficult to come to terms with and occasionally i feel the condition worsen somewhat . I have exactly the same issue in my relationship with my partner. Always questioning whether it is fair on her. I hear that botox can be helpful but have never tried it out.
@@MsFitnut Are you plugged in with the National Ataxia Foundation? They have a bay area chapter and the Stride and Ride Fundraiser every September for Ataxia Awareness Day... I know the bay and Sacramento chapter have these special adapted bikes that allow them to cycle. I'll look it up and send it your way. My daughter only once ever rode a bike because she has been symptomatic her whole life it seems. I was so fortunate to get it on video.
@@TheMirandaPond Hello again, somehow I managed to miss your comments, sorry about that.
I also was recently diagnosed w SCA6 - I have found NSAID med (Ibuprofen or naproxyn) really helped me, esp. if I am tired.
Hi Paula, I'm so sorry. How are you holding up? Also, sorry for the delayed reply. I didn't even know people were commenting on my videos.
Really interesting - I've read a bit of research about this in school as well. Makes sense that issues with the brain affect not only the physical but also the emotional / psychological as well. It's all connected!
I went through all of this early - hell on wheels. Pretty much over and I'm so relieved. p.s. you;re hilarious.
I honestly feel like it will never be over. Also, my boobs ARE HUGE. I just look down and wonder what the hell and feel betrayed. I wish you were here so we could have coffee xoxo
Miss you girl! SO much!
Here to support you, my friend!
Thank you xo
I have a close family member that was diagnosed and we are looking for support and help.
I wish that Bosu was my belly !
Another good question. It depends on your current fitness level and goals. For general population it's recommended that you do no more than 3 HIIT sessions per week and never back to back. Take at least one day between.
Good question. It really depends on your ability to recover. Recovery is really important thing with HIIT. If you can recover in 1min after a 1min max effort then go again. Sometimes I do have the incline on and sometimes I don't, it just depends on what my goal is for that day. I will switch up my interval times as well. You can do 10 on 20 off or 20 on 10 off (Tabata style). The possibilities are pretty limitless.
Im not trying to be a pest, but how many times a week do you recommend doing HIIT?
is it ok to do 1min max, 1 min rest. Or is it best to do the 30 sec on/off? Also, do you have the treadmill on an incline for the speed intervals? Thanks!
Those are hard to do but very good for balancing the core. Great video. :-)
I sometimes jump rope like this too. I like that it's easier on the knees, involves more muscles and it's less noisy for the people living in the flat behind me. BUT, I prefer to skip without it because I love to skip fast, and with all that absorption it's impossible to be very quick! Thanks for sharing your workout!
