All About Troriluzole
We have received lots of questions from our community about Troriluzole, an investigational therapy for SCA. In this session, we went over some of the most common questions we have received about Troriluzole. Then there was an open Q&A session for attendees to ask their own questions.
Troriluzole is an investigational therapy that is under evaluation and not approved by the FDA. Anyone considering participating in a clinical trial or trying a new medication should discuss the matter with their physician. The National Ataxia Foundation does not endorse or recommend particular studies or treatment options

❤ Thank you
So my Chiari Malformation is possibly the cause of this?
Wish you had dumbed it down for me.
Could all of this be caused by beatings ?
I have Fredrich ataxia if anyone have similar disease please contact me
I recently found out about CANVAS after years and years of miss and undiagnosed issues and my symptoms and imparements line up with CANVAS. I'm based in Melbourne and right before I clicked on this video I was wondering if anyone in Australia has knowledge of CANVAS. It's really good to know someone down here cares about these rare conditions.

Pls share the herbs....my mother suffers from pcd.. ofcourse we will do our research before using them
I'm trying to find that list
Celiac disease with hypothyroidism Addison s pernicious anemia autoimmune gastritis, mthfr mutation and hereditary spastic paraplegia spg4 (Arg/cys). I am improving my upper motor neuron and I do really think that my Ataxia was caused by the Gad65 antibodies and vitamin b12 deficiency. Any studied on upper motor neurons and autoimmunity correlation ? I know that with my celiac I developed fat malabsortion (vitamin e) and gastritis (b12 and folate deficiency) Glad to hear
I developed some sort of ataxia..about 3 years ago I don’t know the type, I feel like my fine motor skills were detoriating for a while,no family history.

Sca1 46 yrs old also other problems of course using a walker long distance like Walmart lol in a chair
I am sitting here wondering if it's time for me to use a chair. I have gone from being able to at least get around some, but the last couple months i've gone downhill. Walking is starting to hurt and I am so tired just going to the kitchen.
@@OldManDerp what is weird I walk ok at home no walker as soon as I step outside its like I totally forget how to walk
Dr Perlman, may ur frataxin keep working tirelessly for the tired ataxic patients....true inspiration...stay blessed...especially for ur home work
I nave CANVAS taxia do you have some idea how i can slow down?
speaking from my possible MNGIE Dx and all the sx's aligned with any all these. I can only ask, how impressive it is to have this depth of information. ONLY to recognize people like myself seeking ANY MF AMA physician who CARES that listen to my misery as well where the FK to go..as usual the industry is so proud to do research with Data that goes unused*, NO one getting help on this probable genetic autoimmunity. SHOW me where i can get HELP of any kind? that wont deny me IE: "Barrows", in Phoenix and "Mayo" in Scottsdale. My neurologist Stephan Flitman as well my D.O Dr Alessi in Arizona on infectious disease docs are shrugged shoulders not knowing where to send me..i had to order the Genetic TYMP test.. I had to ask for MIBG or Pet for neoplasms and the Spinal tap(-) in all syndromes GBS MG MS etc.. so now what..?
Post;;; rt pontine vestibular CVA, left hemi 3 years ago had good rehab with muscle then i'd say got 85% back. now progressive last 2 years plus atrophy legs arms bilat weakness deep fatigue near POTs alike any exercise from kitchen to bathroom faintness nausea dizziness. bilat peroneal neuropathy severe, actual double vision cannot focus on anything nystagmus alike. this "Bilat" progressive misery is why i know it aint the CVA affiliated maybe potential partial affected by the cva but not the cause. from Mycotoxin, "fire on the brain" versus MNGIE the sigmoid perforation last year certainly made this misery just that much more intolerable.
My question i had stroke. Can ataxia muscles the eye musles?and far as getting the vaccine I think it stroked me double edge sword
I mean, can ataxia affect the eye muscles you explained, yes
We are from Georgia. My daughter, who is 19 years old, has Friedrich's ataxia. We do not receive any treatment or therapy, due to the fact that there is no treatment for our disease in our country. Our problems started at the age of 10-11. Now we are already kaliaska sitting in the . Please help me, how should I act?! I really want to put him in a program to improve his daily life and health
I am a carrier of this but I am certain this is my diagnosis. I have all the symptoms and abnormal mitochondria. I well believe it can be dominant.
Have you currently taken any video on spg 4 ?
I have gluten ataxia and an upper motor neuron called hereditary spastic paraplegia. Both of the diseases overlaps with their symtoms. What helped me was finding my celiac disease diagnosis, high supplementation with Vitamin E/D/A end electrolytes such potassium, zinc, magnesium and manganese. With the high fat diet the homocysteine decreased down to normal levels. And also my dislypidemia and fasting glucose/insulin came back in normal range
The upper motor neuron disease is due to Arginine/cysteine mutation.
I am in Canada. Incredibly thankful to you for doing this
Dr. Susan. Could you give me the detail of stem cell program in Taiwan ? I would love to know more about that please ?
Hi. I am 77. Have been diagnosed over 10 years ago. Type, unknown. Mother and grandfather had. Mom started at 50. Have been tested for type, but no type indicated. I use sight for balance a lot. I know because of low light situations. I go gym 3 days a week. Know I am going to fall and like to get up and not being hurt. Oh, MRI shows lesions..
I am really worried, because it seems now that it is busy affecting my eyes. Johan

Hello, thanks for the informative video. I have Episodic Ataxia type 2 since I was about 12 (although it was only diagnosed when I was 30). I noticed that I have the attacks more frequent over time, and now I have an attack once every two days or something (more if I play sports). I'm a bit nervous about your statement that these episodic attacks can become chronic. What are the changes that I develop chronic Ataxia? Is that common?
