Re: [adie_syndrome] Holmes Adie's Syndrome

Thank you for the reply - I'm not sure of your name.
     I was diagnosed with Adies in 1990. I was diagnosed with Holmes Adies Syndrome about a month ago. According to my neurologist, they are two different things. Having Adies does not mean that you will develope Holmes Adies Syndrome?? I don't know?? Trusting doctors is not something that I am accustomed to doing. That is why I am trying to find out as much as I can about this little known *syndrome*. From what I gather from this group, it seems that symptoms vary. For a few years now I have been concerned that I had MS, the neurologist ruled that out. I have been falling a lot, on flat ground and stairs. I'm tripping over my own two feet,  just 2 of  the problems I have been having the past few years. My regular doc. writes perscriptions like they are candy. Out of the many she has written the past couple of months, I only take one and keep another on hand. I'll be changing primary docs. soon.
     My nuerologist said that I may end up using a cane, I added the question of a walker or chair - because so little is known. He had me make an appointment to come back in six months to see if I have gotten worse, and if so - how much worse. Probably because of my symptoms. Who knows - I may go back in six months, and he may tell me I have something totally different and send me off somewhere else. I am trying to research this as much as possible, though not much is out there at all. It is very frustrating.

      The neurologist I saw was not impressed with my Adie Syndrome.
I'd be curious to know why the neurologist you saw has already fortold a
future with canes and wheelchairs.  I have not seen any long term
information, and  I am also interested in muscle and joint problems.
     I have had this syndrome since 1992.

Kathy, I'm not sure where you live, if it might be in a high lyme disease area, but, a dilated pupil can be a sign of neurological lyme. If not treated, lyme...
