Hello,  My wife, age 23, has been diagnosed as probably having 
Sensory Ataxia.  I would like to find out more about this, is this a 
symptom  or the name of a disease.  In layman's terms her symptoms 
include; loss of coordination, loss of balance, walking is very hard 
especially down stairs, and she teeters back and forth when she 
stands still.  She will fall over if she closes her eyes or is in the 
dark w/ nothing to hold onto.  Could a Vitamin deficiency be related 
to this? (B-12).  Are there any known causes/treatment.  I would 
appreciate any internet sites with further info and any terms that 
might help me in my subject searches.  Thank you
