Ataxia Or Als?

my neurological symptoms are now so severe, after many doctors and many tests, i was finally diagnosed with ALS.

 

but, the diagnosis was rescinded for several reasons…my tongue muscle is good; my breathing is good; and, after 6 years, i'm still here...

 

so, i'm back to being undiagnosed.

 

someone mentioned ataxia to me; if it is gluten ataxia, have i not been strict enough??

 

i'm afraid to get my hopes up again...

eleven years  ago  I to was  given  a death sentence  of ALS... Got my medical disability quickly  ....after  three  months  I was  able to  walk  &  talk  again & the  choking  became  less & less...I  was  brought  to  celiac  by  divine  intervention  &  never  heard  of  it  before that..., I  have  ups & downs   but  I'm alive.......In eleven years  I  have only  been glutened   once. I'm VERY strict  &  have loads of  other  problems( health issues)  & allergies.   again  it's   still all good  I'm alive!!!!!

 

I've  had  two friends  a male  & a  female  who both  got  a  ALS death  sentence  as well... one  lived  for  seven years  with a gluten-free  lifestyle,    a  good  life... the other  died  within  months &  would not  consider  a gluten-free  lifestyle...  only they  would  consider if a  medical  doc  suggested   it....when  the  end  was  near  they  said  I should have  followed  a gluten-free  diet  you both  are still going strong....

Honestly  I  don't  know  if  I  have ALS  or not  &  don't  fret  about it  because  I  got  eleven years to date  that we  thought  I would never see....for me  every day is a gift...... I take  nothing  for granted...

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
