New to neuropathy without pain

I have had a normal EMG. I consider myself fortunate that I don't have what I perceive to be pain. But I will say that sleeping through the night is getting more difficult because I'm more aware of the odd sensations that are uncomfortable.
It's interesting how you say balance "iffiness". I understand this. Once I get into a stride I forget about the discomfort but initially I'm very tentative in my steps.

That sounds so familiar! My "iffiness" is at its most bothersome after I've been sitting for a while, and "a while" can be a mere 15 minutes. I'm especially aware of my odd way of walking (John Clease, are you listening?) when I've been sitting in a doctor's waiting room and called by the nurse: my getting up and crossing the waiting room can be downright funny … if only it were funny!

pah17 I feel the same. I really don't have balance issue bc I can walk in the dark or with my eyes closed which is usual test for balance issues however I find if I am not deliberately conscious of the steps I take I can miss-step very easily and sprain my ankle especialy when i first get up from sitting. But I do step aerobics without problems bc I am paying attention.
