Very Help and easy to read
This book is about the author's story regarding her Ataxia disease.I become very knowledgable about this disease when my doctor tells me I have it.I find a lot of similiar things happened to me the author described in this book.Also, there are a lot of helpful tips and suggestion near the end of this book to help me cope with this disease.And it is quite comforting to know how other people deals with it.

A Balancing Act-Living with Spinal Cerebellar Ataxia
It was comforting to read about the trials that another individual has had to deal with over the course of the years since being diagnosed. I too am affilicted with this dis-ease, several other neuro-diseases as well as being a disabled Veteran. I have kept journals but have not shared them with anyone other than close family members. Ms. Hamilton has helped me to take a step, so to speak, toward getting my experiences out in the open. Thank you Ms Hamilton for your courage and determination. I empathize with you on so many levels.

Very good inspirational book

Product Description

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.

Product Description
This volume aims to provide a comprehensive review of basic and clinical research on cerebellar 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, or serotonin) and its role in ataxia. Coverage progresses from detailed analyses of the cerebellar serotoninergic innervation, to studies of neurotransmitters in experimental models of ataxia, to clinical studies that document the efficacy of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in treatment of cerebellar ataxia. Extensive findings presented indicate that novel aspects of central serotoninergic transmission - particularly volume transmission and receptor-receptor interactions - are of major significance in the cerebellum and account for the therapeutic effects of 5-HTP in cerebellar ataxia. ...
