GrannyJo, I'm sorry for all you're going through.

There are a lot of things that can cause a positive Romberg Sign.

Did they test your B12 levels?

Ditto on what Abby said about the tests going negative. Have they retested your antibody levels?

You could have a lesion. That's quite possible.

Going off of IVIG doesn't seem really sensible. It's sort of like a mad scientist experiment.

Be prepared for them to suggest a lumbar puncture at some point.

Here is some basic info for you.

I hope you get some answers soon. I can't imagine how tough it would be to not be able to swallow.

Annie
