Let me make it perfectly clear that I am neither a doctor or any other type of health care professional. My only knowledge comes from the fact that I have a form of MD called Friedreich's Ataxia. I have spent some time looking for information and possible treatments which I will share with anyone here.

I invite anyone to share any knowledge they may have with visitors to this site. Simply email me

I'm afraid there was no way to make this short as there is lots of information here. Some may apply to many people and some only to me. I have to make another point here...I use homeopathic remedies, some people have a very difficult time accepting that and if you are one of the people are unwilling to consider them I would suggest that you not even read any further.
I asked the homeopath one day who is helping me what advice I could give people with one of the forms of MD? His answer was "Get to a good homeopath as soon as possible"

Sept 24-30 2005. Trying to catch up on my logs after the move and everything. Still have had to repeat every 2 to 3 days and haven't seen anything substantial yet.

Sept 24 2005. Had a major headache all day. Couldn't get up and could/t go to sleep. Back of my neck and into eyes, with nausea. Tried the 2 or 3 remedies that had usually worked in the past with no response. Finally tried Gels 30c which is indicated for the flu and either it helped or the headache was ready to ease up anyway.

Sept 26 2005. Couldn't sleep last night. Legs are sore, feet jerking and ankles turning when I try to walk or even stand. Time for the remedy again.

Sept 27 2005. Couldn't sleep again last night. Took Lathyrus (8 succussions) at 3am when I went to bed, got up at 9:30am. Sore when I got up, stomach sore, legs still stiff (trouble bending knees), neck stiff and a slight headache. Symptoms haven't changed but the intensity may have eased up a little.

Sept 28 2005. Went to bed at 4am, had trouble going to sleep again. Legs and feet felt pressure like covers were too heavy. More frequent urination but I had drank some soda before going to bed. Got up at 11:30am, still tired. Legs stiff (trouble getting knees to bend). Pain not too bad, just stiff and weak feeling.

Sept 29 2005. Went to bed at 1am, got up at 9:30am. Had trouble going to sleep. Woke up with pain and stiffness in legs, difficult to move. Knees cracking when bending them starting before going to bed. Will wait till tomorrow and see if it improves before deciding if it's time for the remedy again.

Sept 30 2005. Went to bed at 1am, got up at 9:30am. Trouble going to sleep, feet cold and knees popped when I bent them. Not as sore today, still stiff and knees hard to bend. Woke up with a headache, not a bad one side of head just sore. Will wait on the remedy for now.
