Truckin' Along

People may beg to differ but I feel I have totally accepted my ataxia.  Without treatment I will have these symptoms the rest of my life and that they will get progressively worse; it's only a matter of time.  With that said, I do not by any means give up on improving my body and fighting the ataxia.  There is no reason to give up just because you have a chronic condition.  Like I always say, nobody knows what the future holds.  Why not be optimistic of treatment?  There are medical breakthroughs everyday.  My life has not been easy since I was diagnosed with this condition, but I will never give up til the day I die (and then I will be in Heaven where everything's perfect).  I think the main thing I can do right now is do anything I can to slow down the progression of my ataxia.  And I think what I've done the past 6 years has helped because my two MRIs show maybe like a 5% difference.  So I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing and continue to check-in with my neurologist once a year.
