Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Subject: Machado-Joseph Disease Topic Area: Ataxia Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By: Eleonora on Wednesday, July 26, 2000 I'm 42 years old and was diagnosed with type III Spino-cerebellar ataxia (MJD) through a DNA examination three years ago. I decided by myself do exercises, physiotherapy and phonoaudiology in order to help me keep walking, talking and swallowing as long as I can. My mother also had this disease, and she died with 54 years old. I have a symptom she never had, diplopia, and I could find nothing to relieve this up to now, and it seems to get worse. I have miopia too, so when things get too bad, I put a tag over the lens on the eye with which I see worse, so I see only one image. But it also makes my balance worse, and when I take it off, my diplopia seems also worse.Do you have any physiotherapy, exercice or medicine to indicate me? Recently, I started having tremors on my hands, when at rest or doing light movements. When it is bothering me to sleep, I simply lay down on my hands, so I do not allow them to shake. What can I do for this (in a more effective way?)

What is Machado-Joseph Disease? Machado-Joseph disease (MJD)-also called spinocerebellar ataxia type 3-is a rare hereditary ataxia. (Ataxia is a general term meaning lack of muscle control.) The disease is characterized by clumsiness and weakness in the arms and legs, spasticity, a staggering lurching gait easily mistaken for drunkenness, difficulty with speech and swallowing, involuntary eye movements, double vision, and frequent urination. Some patients have dystonia (sustained muscle contractions that cause twisting of the body and limbs, repetitive movements, abnormal postures, and/or rigidity) or symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease. Others have twitching of the face or tongue, or peculiar bulging eyes. The severity of the disease is related to the age of onset, with earlier onset associated with a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms can begin any time between early adolescence and about 70 years of age. MJD is also a progressive disease, meaning that symptoms get worse with time. Life expectancy ranges from the mid-thirties for those with severe forms of MJD to a normal life expectancy for those with mild forms. For those who die early from the disease, the cause of death is often aspiration pneumonia.

What research is being done? What is Machado-Joseph Disease? Is there any treatment? MJD is incurable, but some symptoms of the disease can be treated. For those patients who show parkinsonian features, levodopa therapy can help for many years. Treatment with antispasmodic drugs, such as baclofen, can help reduce spasticity. Physiotherapy can help patients cope with disability associated with gait problems, and physical aids, such as walkers and wheelchairs, can assist the patient with everyday activities. Other problems, such as sleep disturbances, cramps, and urinary dysfunction, can be treated with medications and medical care. What is the prognosis? The severity of the disease is related to the age of onset, with earlier onset associated with a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms can begin any time between early adolescence and about 70 years of age. MJD is also a progressive disease, meaning that symptoms get worse with time. Life expectancy ranges from the mid-thirties for those with severe forms of MJD to a normal life expectancy for those with mild forms. For those who die early from the disease, the cause of death is often aspiration pneumonia. What research is being done?
