Yes, I’ve been a member of the AA club since 1978– been a rough road. You must have a local (relatively) medical professional to help you. I’ve educated more Drs than I can count. In the last year, walking has become much more difficult, and we’ve found that AA is PROGRESSIVE! Yes it can get worse. So I’m going through a series of test to titrate the right dosage from my Medtronic intrathecal pump. Keep the faith a keep in touch.
