It's not talking specifically about balance problems from AN, but it's appropriate.  Talks about research being done at Mass Eye and Ear to help people with sever vestibular problems.

Interesting article.  Unfortunately it looks like a vestibular prosthesis (which sounded the most hopeful) is still a long ways off.  The symptoms of Meniere's Disease can seem similar to the imbalance experienced by AN patients, but the cause is different ..... both are results of things amiss in the vestibular system but in different ways.

Thanks for sharing it, Katie.  It is always encouraging to know that research continues.
