Whats my future?

Hello, petr (@petr)

We've got a similar situation. I'm 79 and have idiopathic PN – no pain but difficulty with balance and gait – diagnosed by EMG in the summer of 2022. I can trace my symptoms back to ca. 2012 when I first noticed brief (10-15 min.) episodes of walking-about wobbliness. These episodes were so brief and unthreatening that I paid them no mind; never even mentioned them to my primary doctor. By 2020, however, the episodes had grown longer in duration and were beginning to have a bothersome effect on my lifestyle. That's when I saw my first neurologist. Here we are now in 2024; my symptoms, though perhaps a bit more troublesome, remain the same (no pain but difficulty with balance and gait) and have not markedly progressed. I've little to attribute that 'good news' to, other than diet and exercise, predominantly balance exercise. I thought I'd mention my situation, one, to tell you of my near-matching set of symptoms, and two, to assure you you are not alone in this maddening business of dealing with PN.

Cheers!
