In any case, I never found any magic pill or activity that "cured" me of PAWS-type neurological symptoms. They have gradually ebbed over time (with some ups and downs along the way). As the Serenity Prayer suggests, all I can do is change the things I can while accepting the things I can't. That has meant making adjustments to my attitude and lifestyle so that the symptoms are less intrusive and I'm not so focused on them anymore. It's all in the actions I take, and in how I look at things. Oh, and no caffeine at all for me!

Everyone's different, of course, but at 11 months I had barely begun to experience any relief yet. It was a good 2 years before I began to have more good days than bad ones.

Hope this helps, and best of luck!
