Does Anyone Else Have Balance Issues?
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband who was diagnosed about a year ago, but who has had symptoms of CATTR for +12years has severe balance issues. Originally they were blamed on vestibular neuritis, but seem to worsen ever more frequently with "bouts" of imbalance and falls. Sometimes there is LOC, other times he is just soooo tired that he falls down. Drs seem to just shake their heads and seem to imply it is a separate issue
Has anyone else ever had inner ear nerve damage attributed to the amyloidosis?

I had a stroke in Cerebellum that I thought was cause of balance issues ( don’t know when), but I think it may be related. Had gotten worse lately. I have CM ATTR so it may have triggered the stroke.

Symptoms Amyloid Peripheral Neuropathy
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi. I had a numbness feeling in my left arm and hand for a few weeks about 6 months ago. It disappeared so I didn’t think too much about it. It’s back again now for a few weeks and I sometime get slights pins and needles in the tips of my fingers. Could this be a symptom of neuropathy? Could it be there for a few weeks, disappear and then come back again? I have hATTR cardiac Amyloidosis and am in Vyndaquel for 8 months now. Thank you.
