Ataxia Or Als?


curiousgirl

Recommended Posts

curiousgirl Contributor

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but, the diagnosis was rescinded for several reasons…my tongue muscle is good; my breathing is good; and, after 6 years, i'm still here...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

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!
