I just noticed that Wikipedia has a good description of Romberg's test, as well as issues relating to it.

You can heal up from neurological damage, even damage to the proprioperception nerves of your spinal column.
Romberg's been positive for me as long as I've been aware of it, but it's worse some times than others. I remain undx'd though, so the root cause is still open for debate.
Hi.
when i dx'ed in 1986 I had a posiyive romberg test. I still have all the sensations that
you speak of , swaying, floor falling away, I do walk to the right and wobble back and
forth and my gait and balance are way off. I walk into walls and hold on to furniture
to go where i want to. I have never asked if it is still positive, but i am sure it is.
One to my largest lesions is sitting right next to my optic nerve
Hope this helps. Linda
