Neurologist Report

A few more of my siblings & daughters proved to have normal reflexes, but that is not surprising since

1. recessive gene traits show up in only 1 of 4 &
2. this problem doesn't necessarily show up early in life.

Today I learned that the term "Inborn Error of Metabolism" applies to me. So far, these are my tests, their results, & what those results indicate:

1. 4 Spinal MRIs ~ normal ~ inconclusive, but not confirming MS
2. Nerve Conduction Study of lower legs ~ Axonal Neuropathy ~ abnormality
3. EMG on shin muscle ~ mild chronic denervation ~ this rules out MS

The next step is to try some med that is used on parkinson patients & also to price several types of blood DNA tests to see if I want to go that route. My doctor said it's hard to know what treatments there might be until an exact diagnosis is reached, but that may not be possible. Otherwise, only symptoms may be treated.

Oh well, I am coping, by God's grace. :D
