Could Loss Of Balance Be Due To Cerebellum Spinal Degeneration?
My mother and her brother were just diagnosed with cerebellum spinal degeneration. I am a male, 35, muscular 215 lbs (body fat about 28%). I have noticed about 29-30 my balance was getting worse. now at 35 seems a little worse than earlier. What can I do to help prevent this if I do have this disease as well?

Spinocerebellar degeneration is a neurodegenerative disease. It is genetically influnced too. There is no way to prevent or cure it.
