Thanks for providing this information. It is a little difficult to wade through for someone without a medical background, but one thing stood out to me. My neurologist mentioned a loss of myelin. I have had trigeminal neuralgia for several years which is also a loss of myelin. I am assuming I inherited it from my father who had similar symptoms. Back in the '80s they called it "old age". My symptoms became noticeable in my 70's: unsteady gait, poor balance, loss of sensation in feet, hammer toes, high arches, weak wrists and ankles, trouble hanging onto things. I am assuming I have CMT2I.

I am thinking my loss of myelin sheath is due to my involvement with autoimmune diseases.
