Can ataxia develop in someone who suffers from tingling sensations in hands and feet?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 24-year-old man suffering from tingling sensations in my hands, lower legs, and feet as well as muscle fasciculations that occur randomly in any place of my body. I have developed erectile dysfunction. Additionally, I have had abnormally high arches. This runs in the family on my father's side. One of my relatives suffered from Friedrich's Ataxia late onset. Can I be at risk of developing the condition? I also have very mild spina bifida occulta if that is relevant.

Please help me.
