Suggest Treatment For Ataxia

I have been diagnosed with Ataxia. The neurologist I now am seeing, after 2 visits, has told me there is no meds to treat this; however, in China, it is treated with newborn cord blood but he won t even go on the website to check it out. I will have that cord blood available on l0 Oct. Also, in researching this on the Johns Hopkins site, there is an Ataxia clinic and follow-up that says there are meds to slow this disease down. I am really in need of some help. Thanks, Frieda Cutts

You have not mentioned cause of ataxia i near degenerative cause, vascular cause or nutritional cause. Mention your full diagnosis and associated findings .There are some anecdotal reports of Stem cell therapy causing improvement in ataxia. So you can try. Tab amantidine and tab coenzyme Q will help you.Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.
