You've had it for 8 years. Wow. Being a physical therapist, do you have any do's or don'ts as far as it comes to exercises? I would like to pick your brain metaphorically of course. I have now had this for 2 years and all I've been told it's a condition that will never go away. That the nerves can never be rejuvenated. I was on gabapentin but got taken off and that helped a lot with the equilibrium issues I have. But the balance being off will put me in a walker the rest of my life. They now have me on savella and it helps take away the pain. Just a little bit. Welcome to the ganglionopathy club. There are other people in this thread. They have it just like us. In the future I want to start a Facebook page to help others.

Hi, I really like your Facebook idea!
As far as exercise, in my situation, foremost I have to practice joint protection. Because I have such poor proprioception (like telling if my foot is up or down, if my knee is bent or straight, etc) I am at risk for injury. I could roll my ankle, hyperextend my knee, hyper rotate my spine. I use a mirror ALOT.
I also know that walking and standing are good for my bone health. (Especially for anyone using steroids and us postmenopausal girls who are at risk for osteoporosis).
This is just me.
Keep on truckin' all!
