      I'm sorry Bob but I believe the gluten free diet will not help your form of ataxia. It's way overhyped as a cure all for just about everything.. I'm very sorry about your health problems and believe it or not, it never occurred to me that you had been drinking. I never thought that of you! If you want prayers you've got them from me. 🙏🙏🙏 Please stop telling perfectly healthy people to go gluten free. It's unethical and unbecoming behavior. Gluten containing grains are good healthy food for the majority of the world. They provide much needed fiber and vitimins

    As someone who has lived with Ataxia my entire life (due to Cerebral Palsy), I want to thank you for shining a light on this. It's not uncommon for people to assume I am drunk(including cops) and /or intellectually challenged. One thing people don't realize is that in addition to physical adjustments, anticipating things that could cause a fall is mentally exhausting as well. Be patient with yourself and keep sharing with us. Sending you all the love and good thoughts.

      It makes so much sense. I can throw a ball to someone and it doesn't take much effort, but if I had to calculate all the trajectories and forces and physics behind hitting the target it would be mentally exhausting. The brain usually does all that subconsciously and it takes a huge part of the brain to do it. Throw a bug in the brain's programming so it doesn't do it well anymore and we have to do more of the exhausting calculations ourselves. Balance, speech, pretty much any muscle control needs calculations.

    Bob, I'm 73 and have CP. It affects my speech and coordination. My advice is to keep on doing what you're doing as long as you enjoy doing it. Of all the issues with CP for me the hardest to deal with was my speech impairment. I earned a MA in rehab counseling and during my career I served adults and children with developmental disabilities.
    Years ago one of my co-workers said something to me that really helped me put things into perspective. I don't remember how we got onto the subject but we were talking about my speech impairment. He told me that to him my speech impairment was no different than if a had a foreign accent. We then started laughing comparing it to the doctors from foreign countries we knew who had accents and that it didn't hold them back at all. Yes, people will make assumptions but it helped me to think of it that way. I hope it helps you too. Wishing you the best always.

For a very long time now, I have come to this channel for serious wrist pain, leg pain, shoulder pain and even after an injury. You guys have been my go to guys for a lot of different problems over the years. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the work you do and the help you have given me and so many others. Just knowing that there were things I could do to improve my health, also saved me lots of anxiety, worry and major stress. I wish you guys the best for many more years to come and can never thank you enough for all that you do.
