Do you work on this full time now?

Have you had genetic testing done yet? I'm sorry that you were diagnosed with this.

I ask because my father is 58 and was diagnosed with this last year. Apparently, SCA is genetic, but thankfully my sister and I have a small chance to get it (supposedly). It is very noticeable that my father has it, and he is also struggling with diabetes (he was diagnosed type 2 about ten years ago, but they recently rediagnosed him as type 1).

My advice to you is to learn how to laugh at it and keep your mind as sharp as you can. Do you like puzzles and other activities? Do brain games and learn as much as you can.

Stay strong, keep your head up, and don't let yourself lose a smile!

Honestly, I think it might. If you keep your mind moving, rather than just doing something like watching TV, I believe that it might counter-act. But no one can say for sure.

Good luck to you along this journey! I hope for nothing but the best for all with SCA!
