I was diagnosed with this awful condition over 15 years ago and at times it’s very discouraging and has me wanting to sink in my chair and let life pass me by. And the sad thing about it is, it can be so depressing at times that you don’t want to do anything which is the worst thing you can do when trying to manage the symptoms. It’s like, when you rest your body, you have to relearn how to walk. But I say, keep fighting the fight!
There are a couple of famous TH-cam physical therapists that are well loved that one of them has recently been diagnosed with this condition. His speech is very affe Ted bit he does on and recently came on to explain this disease.
I am SO HAPPY I came across this channel. I have always taken intrest in the medical field. I tried to use Google but it wouldn't always give a good example on what I'm looking for.
this is such a horrible dicease. i saw my father (not my real father, but the father of my half sister, and the father i grew up with) decline and stuggle with it until he died last year, 65 years old. he was in a wheel chair, blind and had no short term memory for the last 10 years. i saw an outgoing social entreprenour deteriorate little by little, becoming a shell of the person he used to be. he fought so hard until the very end. we don't know if my little sister has it, and i don't think she wants to take a test to find out. i don't believe in god, but i pray that there will be a cure for this soon. i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
My mom has it too … sca 17 and There is 50% chance i have it too … on one side I want to know if I have it too but on the other side I am also afraid to know what the test results may be ( i am now 15 and my mom is 45 btw… the symptoms begun 14 years ago)
We just found out my son has this disease and he got it from his fathers side and they said nothing while we were dating,my son also has 2 kids and we hope they dont have it.I also have a daughter and she just had a son and im hoping they are well
The best way is to get them have tested , my step son has got it from.his late mom and brother . It so 😢heartbreaking 💔 there is no cure for that, we tried stem cell nothing
Oh! I was wondering if you have a video explaining what makes a disease a disease, I always thought it was a form of sickness, but not involving genetics.
I think it has something to do with the vocal chords. I have not been diagnosed yet but have all the symptoms and I am starting to slur off and on. I have weird things about my throat...
This is very interesting...especially since glutamine leads to GABA production, and inhibitory GABA transmission also leads to diseases like Parkinson's via ataxia and neurodegeneration and also epilepsy. So I'm wondering, because vitamin e deficient diets in animal studies have been shown to cause ataxia and neurodegeneration, could a deficiency in vitamin e lead to the expression of CAG repeats that could cause this condition and other related conditions? (Re: vitamin e changes glutamate and GABA inducing enzymes)
@@abhishekvsmalyala I don't think that's accurate. Vitamin e would regulate glutamate which would alter the levels of glutamine in the cell - hence inhibiting GABA production.. That's what I was proposing in my original post since this pathway has already been established, but hasn't been studied specifically for neurological diseases like Parkinson's or SCA.
Hello, my friend has SCA type 3. This condition passed on to her from her mother who is now bed ridden patient . My friend's conditions currently are that she often cannot walk straight and on some bad days, she cannot even get up. Now she is 15-week pregnant and worried if this condition will pass on to here baby? Is there any way to test during pregnancy if her baby also has this condition? Thank you so much in advance for you answer.
Hello sir I am from India I have a patient her age about 29 years as like same problem with her low balance coordination shaking and pain the back side how to treat the cases ?? Plz help her.the doctor says not cure about this disease
I'm a patient of sca type 1, suffered 3 years very badly but with brahma vidya, astrology, yogas, diet and overall ayurvedic treatment I'm almost recovering.
I'm assuming this is the human version this refers to, as an article about the dog version says it's autosomal recessive rather than autosomal dominant.

Treatment also includes occupational therapy
Psychiatric/psychology therapy is also very important as these patients tend to fall into depression. My dad had it and gave up on life :(
Thanks for sharing and we're sorry to know about your dad. 🙏🏼
I’m very sorry!
But why not give up

Do a lot of praying because that's what it takes. Believe in yourself if nothing else and continue to pray...

Neuroimaging isn't a good way to diagnose. A significant number of people with well progressed symptoms can show no visible cerebellar atrophy.
If neuronimaging isn’t useful in diagnosis,what is? I have ET with balance issues seven years after diagnosis.
the history should make the diagnosis,, neuroimaging, investigations, then will confirm it.

Understand the problem with walking,co-ordination, eye movement due to cerebellum dysfunction but why is there speech problem??
I think it has something to do with the vocal chords. I have not been diagnosed yet but have all the symptoms and I am starting to slur off and on. I have weird things about my throat...
Great explanation, as always!👍
I wonder if protein aggregation due to polyglutamine expansion is a possible mechanism for SCA, as with Huntington's Disease.
Thank you so 🙏much outstanding explaination ✨before my exam
We hope your exam went well, Sindhu! 😊

This whole theory loses it's credibility as soon as you realize that Glutamate is ALWAYS a stimulatory neurotransmitter, unlike GABA.
@@abhishekvsmalyala glutamate but not glutamine. glutamate is converted into glutamine by glutamine synthetase.

My son is 3 years not walking till suffering with spino celebral ataxia 2
Is there any treatment for spino celebral ataxia 2
Is it similar to Huntington's Disease/chorea ?
No, ataxia caused bt cerebellum is being damage or atrophy. While hungtington’s not
I'm assuming this is the human version this refers to, as an article about the dog version says it's autosomal recessive rather than autosomal dominant.
It is different, if friedreich’s ataxia or ataxia telangiectasia they are recessive

Not always. You can have cerebellar ataxia also from tumor or infarct, not only trough degeneration.
