Kurzbeschreibung
My name is Patricia Birdsong Hamilton. I was born and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta in 1974, and received my MBA from Atlanta University (now Clark ¿ Atlanta University) in 1975. I am one of seven children born to Annie and R.C. Birdsong, am married and am the proud mother of one son and one daughter. I was diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia at the age of thirty-four. Because I was unable to find a book that could provide me with some insight into the way the disease may affect me, I decided to write my own. My objective was to learn how to live with my medical condition. The books I wrote are about my personal experiences before and after my diagnosis. I discovered ways to cope with the disease, the way I came to grips with my situation and how I developed an attitude that enabled me to move on with my life. ¿My Thirty Five Years with Ataxia¿ is a book that chronologically describes the challenges I have experienced over the years. I define ataxia and reveal some family history concerning ataxia. Through out the book one has to keep in mind that we are chemically and biologically different and we react differently to medication. With A positive attitude, the support of God¿s blessings, family and friends. I meet each hardship head on. Other books published by the author are: A Balancing Act: Living with Spinal Cerebellar Ataxia Coping Skills for the Ataxia Individual Broken Shell Not, a Broken Sprit Stretching Toward a Healthier You! A Balancing Act: Walking What¿s UP? Why do You Walk Funny?

Misleading
5. April 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
This book turned out to be a simple-minded compilation of Biblical references and a few exercise suggestions. It managed to tell me nothing new or helpful in 80 pages. It is a religious book masquerading as a clinical tale of an illness.
My husband, age 69, was diagnosed with progressive cerebellar ataxia. We've found water exercises in a heated swimming pool to be helpful. Another discipline that appears to arrest the disease process is that of Feldenkrais. Definitely NOT the ab-building exercises at the end of the book. He is starting on Gyrotonic this week and I think it, too, holds promise of arresting his condition.

If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. This book contains details about her life with ataxia (she writes actual dates when an event occurred) along with many positive statements to live and grow by.
Chapter 1-WHAT IS ATAXIA?-the definition is given in this chapter.
Chapter 2-ATAXIA THROUGH THE YEARS-her experiences are divided into three parts: The Onset of Ataxia 1973-1984, Symptoms Continue 1985-1996, and Advancing Symptoms 1997-2008. (This book was released in 2009).
Chapter 3-THEY KEEP ON COMING.- a brief talk about balance issues, slurred speech, and tremors.
Chapter 4-ACCEPTING LIFE AS IT COMES
Chapter 5-DARE TO BE HAPPY
Chapter 6-NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED
Chapter 7-KEEPING THE FAITH
Chapter 8-PEACE OF MIND
Chapter 9-FACING YOUR FEARS
Chapter 10-A HEALING PRAYER
Chapter 11-MOVING ON WITH MY LIFE
Chapter 12-CHILDREN LIVING WITH DISABILITIES
Chapter 13-EXERCISING-I love this chapter because it details many types of exercises, including: Facial Stretch; Head Twist; Over-the-Head Arm Stretch; Bilateral Arm Rotations; Hand and Wrist Flex;, Waist Twist; Calves, ankles, and toe Flex; Thigh Stretch; Calves and Back Stretch/Abdominal Crunch; Shoulder Lifts; Knee Crunch; Leg Lifts; Cobra; and Flat-out Relax.
I read this in an evening and it was well worth it. I just love positive books and the listing of the exercises is great!
