Hey John, so nice of you to respond, and I really appreciate the links 🙂
Indeed, my brother is receiving good care at home. And we are extremely thankful (and lucky) that he was able to progress from a vegitative state/pneumonia/respirator/feeding tube -- all the way back to a freely breathing, eating, talking, laughing father and husband again. but I would love to stay current on alternative or experimental therapies aimed to restoring movement. And I would love to hear from others who may have this extreme form of neuropathy. Thanks again for your note!

Hi @scottydot, Thank you for the update. It's great to hear that your brother is receiving good care at home. I forgot to mention that there is a Caregivers Support Group here on Connect with many different discussions that you might find helpful. Even though the ones being cared for might not have the same condition, I'm sure that there are others that can relate to what you and your brother are experiencing. Here's a list of discussions if you want to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/.
