Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. You are very young for diffuse cerebellar atrophy. One thing I want to clear to you, is cerebellar atrophy is irreversible. However, you can stop its progression. I will tell you few measures for this

- First consult some neurologist to rule out B12 deficiency, spinocerebellar atrophy, Freidreich's Ataxia. He will advise you few investigations to rule out it. Treatment will depend upon final diagnosis. Spinocerebellar atrophy and FA are congenital, progressive disease. They can be treated symptomatically only.

- Increase intake of fruits, green vegetables, curd, dry fruits. These are rich in antioxidants, minerals and vitamin. It will naturally stop atrophy.

- You should take neutron specific vitamin supplements like B12, folic acid, Pantothenic acid, Pyridoxine after proper prescription.

- If you are having tremors, tablet propranolol can be taken after prescription.

- For memory loss, you can take tablet Donepezil, citicoline after proper prescription. Keep a dairy with you to remember things. try to play Sudoku or chess to improve your memory.

- Consult physiotherapist to improve your muscle strength. It will help you later.

Hope it will clear your doubts. If still in doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care.
