I have started to develop spasticity issues and a long list of supposed unconnected symptoms the last 8 yrs. I have finally gotten diagnosed thru a genetic test (4th or 5th) that showed a diagnosis of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia SPG7. I started getting symptoms around age 38 to 40yrs. It took another 2 yrs to get a dx of dysautonomia from a vascular surgeon. Much luck on your journey to a diagnosis. I take robaxin and tiazanidine for spasticity and wear compression stockings and try to keep my body from getting chilled as that can really make the spasms get bad.

Thank you for your reply . Your feedback is much appreciated. It is very comforting to know I am not alone with the pain.
I have now been diagnosed with SFN and further testing including autoimmune related markers is currently in progress.

Wish you all the best and thank you again!
