Ataxia would be hereditary or environmentally related. And according to a medical doctor, 60 to 90% of Ataxia sufferers would be men in the prime of life. Since Iloca is still of unknown cause, it is not surprising that the origin of this form of Ataxia is hard to diagnose. The author of this questionnaire is himself suffering from it and he intends to find the origin of his disease and to make sense of it all. It would be beneficial for both the medicine world as well as society in general. Using computer knowledge, the opening of his Web site (www.ataxie.ca) will help him reach his goals. Although incomplete, we still decided to publish our first results and there were some surprises in store!

The main Iloca systems affect various organs or functions such as: equilibrium and coordination; energy level; muscular strength; the bladder, several glands, amongst which the sexual glands, reflexes, moods, etc., and continue towards MSA (multi-systems atrophy) after several years. We can determine cases similar to ours using only one symptom affecting an organ. However, to obtain better comparables, we have to analyze a wider range of symptoms and compare them with our case.

The three Iloca sufferers are men in the prime of life. As predicted, 60 to 90% of men would be suffering from Ataxia and Iloca, which would occur less often in women.
