The most common symptoms are episodes of Ataxia (difficulty with balance and coordination) and unclear speech (dysathria) interspersed with periods of normal or nearly normal neurological function. The attacks are usually brought on by exercise, excitement, rapid changes in posture or, in some cases, high-carbohydrate meals. The attacks of EA1 are usually associated with muscle twitching and are generally brief, lasting for only a few seconds or minutes.<\/p><p>Symptoms of EA1 may include incoordination and disturbed balance with involuntary movement or rippling of the muscles (myokymia) and\/or muscle spasms (myotonia). There may be twitching or tremor in the face and hands. Myokymia may occur between attacks.<\/p><p>In EA2, the attacks last longer, ranging from 30 minutes to six hours. Symptoms often include muscle weakness, instability in the torso, and possibly dizziness and fatigue. Involuntary eye movement (nystagmus) is common between episodes. Muscle twitching generally is not a part of EA2, stiffness or dystonia may be a feature.<\/p><p>Attacks of Episodic Ataxia with paroxysmal choreoathetosis and spasticity generally last about 20 minutes and involve imbalance and uncoordinated movement; stiffness or a withering appearance (dystonia) in arms, legs, and\/or toes; and a burning, tingling sensation in the legs and around the mouth.<\/p><p>Double vision and\/or headache are possible. In some cases, there may be involuntary muscle contractions and temporary paralysis in the lower body and legs persisting between episodes. In addition to stress, excitement, and exertions, attacks may be brought on by alcohol or fatigue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e007d62 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e007d62\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c00cdef\" data-id=\"c00cdef\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f539c7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f539c7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Episodic Ataxia Prognosis<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa39a39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa39a39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Episodic Ataxia most typically presents itself from early childhood to early adulthood.

Genetic testing is available on a research basis at several laboratories around the world. There is also ongoing effort to identify defects in new genes that can cause Episodic Ataxia.<\/p><p>NOTE: A different mutation in the EA2 gene on chromosome 19 is responsible for Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 6 (SCA6), and symptoms of EA2 and SCA6 can be similar, especially in the early stages of SCA6. Defects in EA2 gene may also cause familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1).<\/p><p>Some people with EA2 develop a progressive Ataxia in addition to their episodic attacks. DNA testing for SCA6 is available and can accurately detect the genetic abnormality that causes SCA6.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f31a1a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3f31a1a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-875f7f0\" data-id=\"875f7f0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25b98b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"25b98b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca2b26d elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"ca2b26d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"SCA3scasource\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b93470a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b93470a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Episodic Ataxia Research News<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a27abfa elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a27abfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfc1cfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cfc1cfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SCAsource provides Ataxia research news, directly from researchers to the Ataxia community. <span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );
