I am suffering from primary Amyloidisis affected on kideny filtration so creatine increased to @8

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.
I have be taking Tafamidis since March 2022 with no positive changes. I was thinking that due to my advanced heart failure I may not see any benefit by continuing to take Tafamidis.
You should stay on meds. It helped my brother a lot. He got a heart transplant las November after thanksgiving and he is doing so good now. I hope I get a prescription soon.
Worse is the double and triple vision. I also get blurry eyes, and runny eyes. I frequently have to squint to see anything. Anyone had similar experiences? Any suggestions for help? Thanks, Bev H.
Thank you Cindy3!!!
I think the only way to really understand how much Tafamidis works is by comparing the heath thickness before and after, at least 1 year of therapy. Has anyone got this information?
Sheldon, is the Acoramidis also manufactured by the same company as Tafamidis and Patisiran?
Palliative Care has been wonderful, they manage all his pain meds. The team is so caring, empathic and I couldn’t imagine managing this path without them.
Sean I’m sorry you’re not getting what you need from this site. I might have to agree to disagree on some of your points. I wish you the best on this journey we’re all on.
