I think I read somewhere that the dorsol root ganglia lack motor neurons, but I'll have to check that. Perhaps someone else can speak more authoritatively to this. Of course, I believe someone with pure SFN can end up having larger nerve involvement and so motor neurons.
One thing I was thinking here too is whether someone with ganglionopathy can still experience regeneration. Some posters have hinted at this (Brian said so explicitly, but just in passing:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread229883-2.html; and En Bloc seems to be experiencing it). Can anyone weigh in on this, ideally with some studies? I'll look into this myself too.

Does anyone know if ganglionopathy can affect larger motor nerves and therefore become more than just sensory?
I have conducted months of research into my sfn but am in a gabapentin enduced stupor more often than not these days, I keep reading articles over and over and finding no answers. I do try and find the answers to these questions but its becoming harder.
I won't continue to hog the boards tonight, last post for now! :-) |
