How things are now!

My G.P has prescribed me Tizanidine for my spasms at their worst they kept me awake throughout the night, now great no spasms in the night. She has also increased gabapentin to help with my burning hot feet at night, due to peripheral neuropathy still have to get up at night to cool them down but a lot better. Going to ask her to refer me to another neurologist who I've checked specialises in ataxia. Current one has little experience.

🙂It’s good to hear your symptoms have greatly improved. It is helpful when the Neurologist Specialises in ataxia…👍

Yes there's been some improvement, but more or less after posting this my feet woke me up twice in the night. How annoying and mad ìs that! This neurologist I'm hoping to be referred to also specialises in peripheral neuropathy which is good.
