That's a nice message for Don. Don has been keeping us all interested with his posts over the years. I appear drunk as well and no-one except experts understand the pain that makes no sense at all to a normal person. Even recently after years of ataxia, my husband might still say that I just need to build the muscles up. Luckily some days I can walk a reasonable distance and then not again for a few days. Yesterday I went up the stairs and had to sit down, exhausted, it makes no sense to an observer, for some time, it made no sense to me. (Still doesn't really, but it happens.)
Thanks for reply its good to txt to people that understand not many people know what it is we have did you get the geno test done and if so what does it tell you
