I have cerebellar atrophy, but I don't know that it is progressing because the symptoms I have are also those of peripheral neuropathy that I have.

It is often genetic, however toxins, some medications, injury, and a number of other things can cause it. For instance, mine was caused by an old and used long-term medicine, that they didn't really know all the side effects of. It is usually ongoing. It's symptoms, besides a CT or MRI, are imbalance, sometimes tremors, sometimes loss of executive functions, sometimes a little loss of memory and a few other things.

It is sometimes totally progressive, meaning eventually a wheelchair, but if it's caught soon enough it's sometimes can be slowed down. Mine wasn't caught soon enough ( I think it's been there for years) so the Dr. wants me to use a cane, however it's worst symptoms come and go, so I usually can get the away with not using it during the day. Often at night I need it. Balance has a lot to do with your vision, too. I also can't look up ( super imbalance) or close my eyes unless I'm holding on to something. It's progressing very slowly tho'. I don't expect I'll need a wheelchair for 15-20 years, a walker for 10 years (I'm stubborn).
