I read in the handbook about spinocerebellar ataxia and possible relation to CPNi. I only found one mention in one article from a couple of years ago on my search of the site. Anyone with spinocerebellar ataxia or know anything about it? My dad(step-but really my dad) was diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia Type 6. He is completely diabled-in a scooter or w/c, able to transfer short distances, has garbled speech, is homebound, has had bypass surgery, can't provide for he and my mom and fights depression(who wouldn't)? As I have looked at cpn for me, I am beginning to wonder-am just about convinced- that he has it also and may be able to regain some function with treatment.
