Memories

-

 One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a service that digitizes your old photos or videos to the format of your choice.  I sent pictures and had them put on DVD so I could import the photos into my library.



A big challenge (unless you have unlimited funds) is choosing which photos to send.  That required going through photo albums that I haven’t looked at in forever.

Lots of those pictures were from my pre-ataxia days.  Pictures of me skiing.


 Pictures of me working.  




Pictures of a whole different life.

I grieve the loss of that life.  (Sidebar:  I used to be sadder at the loss of my teaching career.  But I live in Florida, the epicenter of telling teachers what they can say.  I taught at the college level and used to have a post-surgical trans woman come in to speak and answer questions.  No grooming.  Just information.  I could not do that today.  I don’t miss teaching.)






Ataxia is a THIEF!  And it SUCKS!

I am so sad just doing this post.

Sadness

  You might think, from these postings, that I have the greatest ataxia attitude ever.  But I have my days.  Today I can’t stop crying. This is an incredibly difficult thing to deal with.  Everyone with ataxia (unless they’re in complete denial) has days like this.  Today all my advice about meditation and exercise is out the window.  It’s a grieving day. Some of you may have gotten annoyed with my happy talk.  Please read my posts on Rage, Suicide, Depression.  Happy talk?  As Sheryl Crow said, “No one said this would be easy.” I have no advice for days like this.  They happen.  I just need to ride this out.  I bought black-out shades for my room so I’m going to my dark hole.

Hi there!

 I’m back, bitches!  I’m much worse and have lots to say. I was diagnosed with some type of cerebellar ataxia in 1988.  I was confirmed as SCA6 in 1998 by genetic bloodwork. Here’s a cute dog picture.  The big one is Dasher and she is a trained service dog 🦮.  The puppy is Jax and she is a service dog in training 🐾.  I will have much more to say about service dogs for ataxians later.

I hope you all are doing well. I was just checking up on ataxia trial news. If you ever want to check out what is going on yourself, google  clinicaltrials.gov  and just type in SCA6 or whatever disease you are interested in into the search box. Doing this reminded me that the PRIME-Ataxia exercise study is recruiting. This study allows remote participation (flyer attached). I also listened to a video about how the first FDA approval of a medicine to help with  Freidrich's ataxia  came about. In the video, the company scientist described the importance of having a robust disease life history database and patient advocacy. https://www.ataxia.org/fda-approves-first-treatment-for-friedreichs-ataxia/ The FDA recently the FDA announced approval for  SKYCLARYS  (omaveloxolone) for the treatment of Friedreich’s Ataxia. This is the first and only FDA-approved prescription medicine for Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA). NAF is thrilled about this announcement and proud ...
