Hello,

Since how long are you diabetic?

Since how long are you suffering from ataxia?

Since how long are you on wheel chair?

Hello,

You have to understand that shaky feet are due to ataxia & not due to withdrawal from from alcohol. Ataxia is a degenerative process so alcohol is a slow poison for you .Complete recovery is very very difficult in your case. Accupressure & behavior therapy can reduce your symptoms to some extent. Try to keep yourself cool & happy as far as possible. Once again I am warning you that Alcohol is going to worsen your condition so in any case don't touch alcohol. In case your blood sugar level remain within normal limits you are going to improve to afair extent.Meditation can improve your condition to some extent. If you laugh for 5 times aday that will improve your condition to some extent.
