If you end up like me, you will be submitted for a spinal tap, EEG and additional blood work before labeled "idiopathic" and tried on various anticonvulsants, antidepressants and opioids. Most questions regarding the origin and prognosis of the disease would then be answered with "We do not know" and you would hear a lot of "We can only treat the symptoms".

If there is nerve damage, for some, it could be a mild case or even reverse over time. We are all different along with our individual abilities to heal.
