MRI and ceervical spine

Hi Chirley

I have not visited this site for weeks as we have had our long awaited holiday. I am sorry to hear of your latest problems. Just for interest, David was diagnosed with ataxia type 1 in 2004 ( a year after diagnoses). They thought it may have been triggered by a drug he was taking for his PMR. I think it was an old malaria drug. He was treated with diamox which is used for glaucoma and it passed after several months. He had all the tests also.

I hope you can get some satisfaction from your specialists. We always ask for a copy of reports and keep then in a folder so each one can be up to date. Bring on the promised electronic medical management.

David had a Tx at Logan supportive care last week and we were impressed by the care given.

Best wishes

Helen
