As far as I know no one really know just what it is, or what causes it. Or, for that matter, how to cure it. I am very sorry that this is happening. It has been my biggest fear since the day I first heard of it, and every odd twitch sends my heart racing. I can't even imagine what it must be like to find something so horrible happening to something I care so much about.At this point, and I could be completely wrong, but if she is losing limbs... It just seems like she may be too far gone, but I really hope not. The one "cure" that most people seem to think has the best effect is to put the affected T in a steamy bathroom for a while. It supposedly has a very positive effect.</blockquote>
