I too have been diagnosed with Ataxia. Falling has been a big challenge for me. I never know when it is going to happen. Sometimes I know when I am falling backwards. But forwards is pretty much a trip of some sort. I can trip over the stupidous stuff. Lifting my feet when I walk has been very difficult. I am seeing a trainer who pretty much works with my legs by useing the tread mill, stair-climber, etc. It is helping somewhat. Good luck and don't give up. Laurie

why is it I always when I fall I come to and in the same position as the other ones.
lately I find myself walking around a glass table,going around the table and I lose control of my balance and I get off balance or over the table and I drop my coffee mug on the glass coffee table. Now for a few months I drink then cough. but then I remember it is never going to...it is not curable
Went to a support group for ataxia today They plan and so do I some meeting ataxia is doing in Chicago in March.
