Sensory Ganglionopathy help!!

Posted by leslie04 @leslie04, Aug 24, 2023

I have had Sensory Ganglionopathy for a year now. It effects me walking and am bedridden a lot. I have no nerves left in my lower arms and legs. I have daily troubles of balance. I feel like I had a stroke with all of this. I have steady neuropathy in my hands and feet 24/7. Do not get a lot of sleep from this. Walker and wheelchair bound is all I know now. Had to learn how to walk all over again. The meds I take are Gabapentin and Savella. They mask the pain. I am in deep down depression. Need a support group to know I am not alone. And somebody who has this and can answer questions. There is barely any research on this. It is so rare it is comparable to pherpial neuropathy but my nerves will never come back. Thank you for reading. And would love some feedback on how you handle neuropathy.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Hi ganglionopathy sister. We have a rare condition I tried Gabapentin but had to many side effects. I am hoping you the best of luck with IVIG infusions. I would like in the future to know if they benefited you.

The ganglionopathy gang! That’s who we are. Hey sis. I’ve just decided I HATE gabapentin. It makes me dizzy, spacey, irritable and nervous as hell. Do either of my sisters think it helps the sensory issues in any way?

Hello @ratmum, @leslie04, @langloism and any other members joining the ganglionopathy gang. I thought someone mentioned balance issues earlier in the discussion so I wanted to share an upcoming webinar Wednesday, March 20th that you may find helpful - FPN Webinar: Alternative therapies that enhance balance.

More details and a link to register for the webinar are in the above post - here's the link to the post - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/1032303/
