Ray, thank you so much for your posting. I have not heard of EB-N5, so I need to discuss that w/ my neuro. Not eager for a 2nd EMG, though 🙂 . I have Small Fibre PN. You are blessed that it seems to have been stopped in its tracks... but of course we all hope for a return to normal feeling. My balance isn't too bad, but I hate the feeling of walking on bubble wrap!! Blessings and all good wishes for full healing... Diane

Good morning, drdianeschneider (@drdianeschneider)

Nor did I look forward to a second EMG, but my neuro strongly advised, and once I'd had it and heard the neuro says he saw little or no progression, I was delighted I'd consented.

"Walking on bubble wrap … " What a perfect way of describing what poor balance feels like! A few years ago, my partner and I gave up our mountain cabin because our outhouse was a "short" forest walk from the front porch. Traveling to and from the outhouse, especially at night (and often with some urgency 🙂 ), was just like you say: hiking on "bubble wrap"!

Cheers!
