Hello im paul. I got diagnosed with HSP late last year but never really heard of it before. It began when i was walking with a limp until after a MRI my other foot went stiff and now im walking on the tips of my toes. It just gets worse. Iv lost my job and my social life dont exist anymore. Has anybody else had this? Im waiting to see a neurologist to test me to see what form it is. I just dont know what to expect for the future. Thanks

    Hi @paulm32 and a very warm welcome to the community. :)

    I'm sorry to hear your health has been getting worse and you have lost your job and social life, this sounds extremely difficult to manage. Do you have any support around you?

    @Nancy8597 has spoken on the community about HSP here: https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/67443/has-anyone-has-heard-of-noscapine-as-a-potential-treatment-for-hsp-or-has-had-any-succes?

    I hope the appointment with the neurologist can be helpful, please do let us know how you get on.
