Just received and read my neuro's notes from my evaluation visit. Now HSP is "suspect" and we may have in the "differential," meaning mix of conditions to consider, spinocerebellar atrophy.
As posted in another thread, I'm not willing nor in a position to fork out $1,000 for a $7,000 genetic marker test that may or may not get covered by insurance. Therefore, HSP can't be ruled in or out.
I do have MRI confirmation of brain atrophy and supporting neuro/psych eval results reported to me as, I did well for a 76 year old,.........I was only 51 at the time.
Wouldn't it be great if they somehow found out all of this was in my head? Then I could actually do something about it and maybe get back to being a "normal" human being. I know, I doubt this possibility because it does not fit my personality or history in any way.
Will this ever end?
