Hi Ray, I have the same issues with idiopathic PN. Numbness, tingling, however the worse is balance!! I also must be very careful. My dr. had me on amitrtaline which after 4 months and nothing different except 8lbs heavier, I stopped taking it. It is mainly for pain, which I do not have. I have a vibrating platform, which has a handle(like a scooter) and I also bought slippers with the red light therapy, I exercise -4 days a week. With everyrthing combined I believe I am holding this numbness at and tingling from worsening. The balance has improved with the red light therapy. I have had 3 MRIs on spine and seeing a neurosurgeon to see if PN can be stemming from back, which I under
stand alot of this idiopathic PN stems from. We shall see. Keep posting any relief and balance issues if improving. Good luck to you.

Hi, Allegheny

I've got a similar situation: I'm aware of numbness, but mostly because my first EMG told me I had numbness. Until then, all I knew was my balance was wonky—and getting wonkier every month. Nowadays, apprised of my numbness (in the soles of my feet), I pay attention to it, particularly when driving, making sure before I shove the shift into forward or reverse that I have a good solid purchase of the pedals.

If I bump into any personal, positive breakthroughs, I'll be sure to let you know!

Cheers!
