As most of you know, I have been diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in 2023. 

The diagnosis changed to Complex Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in 2024 as my symptoms have progressively worsened over time. I kept on complaining about extreme fatigue, weakened muscle movements, pain, spasms, cramps, bowel problems and urination problems. Most of the pain and weakness was in my legs and hips. The doctors noticed that I have clonus, which is the uncontrollable movement of muscle in my legs, over intensified reflexes in my left leg, neuropathy in both feet, weakness in my right eye due to a protein leakage, which has now been confirmed as Glaucoma, and muscle weakness in most of the left side of my body. The muscle weakness is slowly progressing to my right side as well. Complex HSP also effects my back, arms, hand, shoulders, chest and jaw. 

The Glaucoma diagnosis is also a hard hit as it affects the remote work that I do. I do freelancing work on the PC and the type of work is straining on my eyes already, so the Glaucoma in my right eye makes it worse.<...
