Susanne, I am so sorry to hear this. It sounds as though your progression is far worse than mine since you probably developed it early on. For now, my med--Gabapentin--is keeping it under control. I just wonder if the process, for me, will be slow as well. I have no ankle reflexes, and I'm having trouble knowing where my feet are since I'm sometimes unstable.
