Welcome to the community
Hi @Chloe_Scope
I know it's something to do with the auto immune system.
My nuerologist did think I had it, but says my tests came back negative.
My immune system was basically attacking my body. Which as left me proufoundly deaf with other disabilitys.
Hope someone can help. -

Hi @jen1
Has your doctor sent you to a nuerologist, or an ENT doctor?
I'm proufoundly deaf, with Pherpheral nueropathy and other dissabilitys.
Due to an infection in both ears, I now have nerve damage.
So I have problems balancing and suffer with dizziness (Ataxia).

Sorry havnt been back on fort a whilst, I was in hospital 3 years before they new what I had, had all the steroids think
itd presidone or something like that which makes you fat, I got the hearing aids not falling as much, but I don’t pick my feet up when walking I shuffle, yes auto immune disease with no cure, it dies after 5 years but things you lost like hearing and eye seight will never come back. Nightmare with masks

ive seen so many doctors, I had an nurse to help with my bladder, she got me into self cafaterisation worse thing ever I’m forever on antibiotics so stopped cafaterising, now I’m just always on the loo. Think I’ve just given up hope now, I have no short term memory so always loosing things it just gets embarrassing, and because I can’t hear on the phone can’t even phone places to check if it’s been handed in -
Hi @bevt2017, do you have hearing problems? If so, there are several charities that could help you. Hearing Link, Action for hearing loss, hearing dogs for Deaf people, etc.
With regards to urinary problems, I know how you feel. I experience incontinence due to spinal problems. I use pads but sometimes I still have accidents requiring change of clothing! I get up several times in the night so I don't get proper sleep. So I sympathise with your problem. Not sure what we can do about this, apart from not having drinks before bedtime. I've heard that eating pumpkin seeds can strengthen the bladder.
I hope you find something that will help you to manage your problems.
The people on this Forum are friendly and supportive, so at least hopefully you won't feel so alone.
