David, what you described does not sound like diskensia to me. Sounds like an intensified intolerance to noise and close movements. As for the exceleration of your symptoms. Everyone is different. Each victim of this nasty disease accelerates at an entirely different rate. Some,experience a very slow increase of symptoms, while others have erratic changes. The symptoms can and frequently do change intensity from day to day. Sometimes even min.to min. Sounds as though you feel that you have found a good source for information. Maybe even some answers to your anxiety regarding diagnosis.Maybe I should say lack of diagnosis. Keep me posted. Juanita CG for George 74/71/64 PS hope your wifes injury was not serious. My husband has always wanted a Mastiff. My response was "if I had wanted a horse I'd have stayed in Ca on the ranch".
