Hi again Sal, Your balance should improve over time. Sometimes however, we have to compensate in other ways. For me to have spatial sense whenever walking, I usually have to look at my feet. For the first year or so, if I lifted my fo0t preparatory to making a walking motion, it would simply stay suspended unless I was looking at it. It was the most confusing and disorienting thing. Even now, I can't always tell where my legs are, often waking up at night thinking that they are bent under me, or at some odd angle, yet whenever I look to check them, they're fine. You had ADEM, right? There is some speculation now, though I do not necessarily agree, that Devics is more closely related to ADEM than previously thought. Of course, that would not explain the relapsing patients. Hope this post helped.
