 HI new, karen again, i realise that tocapherol is another name for vitamin e. it is my understanding that there are like 8 different forms of vitamin e. I read an article on research done in cows where the were injected with a form of vitamin e a trocapherol i believe it was called..and that with doses of between 2 and 10mg per 100gms of body weight they showed an increase in vitamin e concentration in the serum (blood). i only saw one article about the injection of vitamin e in humans but could not access the article..Pay per view.. I really do believe you need to see another doctor perhaps check with ataxia support forums to see what type of doctor would be appropriate..Ataxia with vitamin e deficiency is listed as an autosomal recessive condition. it does i believe have a recognised genetic marker,, Taking serum levels is not the same as having genotyping done..sometimes conditions occur due to mutation of the genes and in that case family members would not show the gene.. In my case my condition it is autosomal dominant genetic condition passed from generation to generation with a 50/50 chance of getting the gene. just trying to help a little karen
