Thank you. I will have to check and see where the term "idiopathic" became part of the wording that I use to describe my condition. The info at that link pretty much describes me to a T. When I saw my neurologist recently, he was pleases with the progress I have made. He said that the best choice I made overall was to stop drinking.
