			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Fellow Members,
<br>
<br>
With over 400 members, one would think that there should be many members posting on a regular basis.  Even at 10%, this would mean 40 of you could become
active.  And why not?  Even if you do not like the messages being sent, you can participate and tell others what is on your mind.  If you have found another
site dealing  with Ataxia in all its categories, and that you like better than this one, why not express your views.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi E-Cousins,
<br>
<br>
I have just sent an e-mail to the 16 Cousins stating that the only ones with whom I make contact are as follows:  Len, James, Debbie, Allie, Dori, and until
she dropped out, Jenny.  If others are seeing this message, would you please attempt to contact me on the E-Cousins contact  list as soon as possible.  I will
attempt to rectify this problem and if I don&#39;t, I will probably drop out and communicate only on this forum. Thanks.

			<link>http://opca.yuku.com/topic/2495/t/weakend-muscles.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ My husband, who was diagnosed in November &#39;09, has deteriorated quite rapidly.  It is still questionable as to whether he as OPCA or something else.  He
refused any more testing.  His muscles in his arms and legs have atrophied greatly and he is having an increasingly hard time walking.  Is the muscled wasting
normal?  He actually wears long sleeve shirts, even in the heat, to hide his arms so that no one sees them.

I want to pose a question that has REALLY been on my mind lately. I want your honest feedback and please don&#39;t anyone feel the need to add their POSITIVE
insight....ok?? (I am talking to me more than anyone~!!!!) With that said...::sweatin::, here goes.
<br>
<br>
My question has to do with the POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE (PMA, if you will.) I know that we don&#39;t grow or thrive when we aren&#39;t positive. Being positive
is, for the most part, much better for us. The... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi there,
<br>
<br>
Is there a simple and easy way to post a picture of me like some of you have done?
<br>
<br>
I went into Yuku and got hopelessly lost. I have given up on several occassions.  One time that I tried, it showed all he photos in My Pictures.  Was I to
delete them all except for the one that I want to put into the form ID?  Could not Yuku come up with something easy to follow?
<br>
<br>
Help.

progressing to where I can barely walk on my own (I&#39;ve fallen many times), have slurred speach (not too bad) and have problems with my hands.  I wonder for
how much longer I can live alone.  Has anyone else had symptoms that progressed so rapidly from the onset?</p> ]]></description>
