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.

Kath,
Not much is known about this syndrome. Please be aware that other
illnesses share some of the same symptoms.
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.
