It was dx'd in 1999 when I was hospitalized for pancreatitis.
Since then, my current PCP, & my neuro & I, have worked together to decrease progression and aleviate pain- thru meds and supplements. My EMG & NCV in July, showed little to no significant difference in tests done 4 yrs ago.
I think that supplimenting B12 has been the most effective for me.
Were you diagnosed with anything or was has it been "idiopathic" the whole time?

You're supplementing with B12... were your B12 levels low?

Thanks,
