Message: <blockquote data-quote="ally1" data-source="post: 2002878" data-attributes="member: 110790">I have had my follow up appt this morning.Sorry if I seem to post alot just recently about my woes. I definitely have Ataxia and so thankful it's not anything serious like a stroke etc. That now explains why my coordination is bad, numbness, pain and general weakness in legs and arms. The consultant did say remy numbness in legs and feet. He said some of it can be due to neuropathy but Ataxia can do that as well. He is referring me to neuro physio because that is slightly different to ordinary physio. Also he is referring me to the eye clinic because of my squint. As that is my lazy eye, I was told a few years ago by the eye dept that they wouldn't fix the squint as it is a lazy eye and the hospital can't do it because it was for cosmetic reasons. When it's fixed, that will help alot with my coordination. Makes alot of sense. Ataxia has medication to help, consultant is speaking to the multi disciplinary team to work out what meds will help because of my bipolar and diabetes meds. He will get back to me about the meds and also write a report for me explaining what was discussed this morning as so much was said. Moral to this post, is anyone having trouble getting any help, it's worth keep pushing for help. I know plus my psych and the neurologist, also ENT, have all agreed my gp surgery has lete down big time. They are pushing me to make a formal complaint about my surgery but as yet, no idea if I will xx</blockquote>
