MemberHello fellow snowflakes.
Just to add a word of warning. I was originally diagnosed with MG 15 years ago. At that stage I never had balance issues.
A few years ago I was diagnosed with a cluster of neuro diseases – the worst of which was CIDP – which was causing me to fall regularly. But this was from feinting and dizziness.
As with all Neuro diseases, one learns to adapt one’s lifestyle to the symptoms. Balance issues were mot one.
Last year I developed balance issues. This was in turn diagnosed with Ataxia.
This is a neuro (or sometimes brain) disorder which is all about balance.
Both CIPD and Ataxia are much more invasive and potentially deadly diseases than MG.
I would suggest anyone with balance issues see your neurologist and ask about whether you could be affected by one of these diseases.
