Are Spinal Ataxia, Spinocerebellar Ataxia and Friedreich Ataxia all the same name for the same disease?
No they represent many different types of hereditary ataxias. Friedeich (FA) is 1; There’s about 30 different spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCA); Never heard of spinal ataxia. Hi, My name is Michel Beaudet, I’m 47, have FA and live in Quebec, Canada. I’m sending this message to invite people to join a list for those with ataxia. The list is called Internaf and there’s also a website full of info at http://internaf.org International Network of Ataxia Friends is a mailing list for ataxia patients and family which serves as a support group and information exchange vehicle. There are currently over 680 subscribers from more than 40 countries worldwide. Subscriptions to INTERNAF is free.
