Cerebellar Ataxia

[Spydaman]

Long story but I went to the doctor a while ago as I went deaf in one ear overnight. I googled it and it said it could be serious and to get it looked at quickly. The doctor had a look and said it was a build up of wax. While I was there she asked if I had any other problems. Not a major problem but I’ve noticed that I tend to stagger a bit when walking. She did some tests and made an appointment for me to see a neurologist. I saw him and he diagnosed cerebellar ataxia caused by drinking half a bottle of wine a day and I should cut down. I’ve now noticed that when driving on a bumpy road I find it hard to fix my vision on the road ahead. Not so much I can’t see where I’m going but just noticeable. I’m worried now that it’s going to get worse and I won’t be able to drive, ride, cycle or walk. In which case it’s game over.
The ears were hoovered out and are no longer a problem and I’ve stopped drinking wine.
