Patient's question:
Just diagnosed with hereditary ataxia. Currently, I'm a bit unsteady when walking and sometimes feel weak. Can Your Royal Dispensary's Bone Marrow Soup treat this? I searched online, and many say it can, but is it reliable? Hello, can hereditary ataxia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hereditary ataxia requires consideration of Parkinson's syndrome or issues with neural function. This type of ataxia can cause sudden trembling in the hands and feet, disrupt balance, lead to fainting, and result in weakness when walking. The most common manifestations include these symptoms. Currently, there is no absolute effect of dietary management for this hereditary ataxia, but stable nutrition may provide some help in control. When necessary, exogenous supplementation with carbidopa may be required.
