Got Mp "out of the blue in 2001. It was really bad at first - shocks, couldn't evewn touch it with sheet, etc. You all know the symptoms. The worst for me was that it has significantly imparied my walking. As soon as I walk even for 15 mnutes - it goes wild. I can only stroll - slowly -not walk steadily. The shocks, etc. come and go and have improved - but it does get aggravated by driving, walking, etc. I really has made me lose my indpendendce. I haven't been able to walk my dog for 5 years or even go shopping in a mall. If yours is really bad I'd get a handicapped sign. I have one and it is so helpful. Then I use the driving carts in the stores.
I took numerous drugs and had injections - no help.
Good luck to anyone with this dreaded MP
