It came from one morning I got up, dressed for work and by lunch time I started shaking and it never stopped, just got worse. I had DBS surgery in 2016 and that helped, I am 90-95% better but still have my bad days. One of my brothers had Tubular Sclerosis and two of his three children also have it. There is no way I can afford to go to the Mayo Clinic for testing but sure would be nice to find out why we were targeted. I also have a granddaughter with lupus and other disorders

Over the next few years she has developed periodic episodes of paralysis, autonomic failure, POTS, and other serious issues. Now she is dealing with gastroparesis. When she has a flare, her face droops, her body has dystonic muscles spasms, then paralysis sets in. It can be from waist down, or neck down. Could this test pinpoint and help her get treatment?
