Hi, PT, your best bet might be to wait it out a bit. My SP became official less than a year go, but I have been steadily and increasingly going downhill for six years. My neuro put it off as long as she felt she could, but 20-some years into it, the reality became too pressing.

My worst attack lasted 24 months and when I finally snapped out of it, I was almost entirely restored. It's such a crapshoot with this bloody disease, comparisons are practically a waste of energy. I hope you'll bounce right out of this one eventually and find nothing too terribly new came from it.
