I have H.N.P.P. and i'm 38yrs of aged, i've had severe palsys and pain for 20yrs but wasnt Diagnosed with H.N.P.P. until i was in my early 30's. With progressional and degenerative changes in symptoms i have found the following complaints...
1. Painfull needle-like stabbing pains in legs, arms, shoulders, wrists and hands.
2. Numbness in legs, arms, shoulders, wrists, and hands that can last from 10min to upto 6months (in my experiences).
3. Sleep disorders like Insomnia, nightsweats, nighttremors.
4. Extreme lethargy, fatigue that can cause long term palsys (pain, numbness) during lenthy sleeps.
5. Depression, anxiety, ptsd.
6. Muscle Cramps, and Lactic acid discomfort on legs only, without over exerting or too much walking/repetitions.
7. Repetitive motor activities causing Palsys (pain/numbness).
8. Muscle mass Degeneration. (Mainly legs, less in arms)
9. Sciatic nerve pains,discomforts.
10. More difficulty with fine motor activities ( buttons, zips, phones, writing, picking up, tieing shoe laces etc).
I have noted these symptoms as my most common, and most present.
I am posting this to try help others and help find good treatments, counceling, physio therapy, information and local specialist for sufferers of this restricting genetic mutation as well as myself.
Feel free to contact me regarding any of the above whether you are a doctor, neurologist, sufferer (Escpecially) as very little is known about H.N.P.P.
Question :- What are the Best and Most Availiable treatments for H.N.P.P.??......
Alternative ideas welcome, as are old home remedies and personal findings!!!
Hope to hear from you, Stephen.
