Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I feel like I am falling thru the cracks and I'm not being listened to. I have Peripheral Neuropathy from Chemo and radiation I had 10 years ago for colon cancer. A year after cancer diagnosis I was diagnosed with PPMS. I now have back issues I believe from the radiation at the Lumbar spine. The MRI read spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. I would love to know which of these is causing my balance problems and issues with hot weather. They all seem to have the same symptoms. Any ideas?

@angielewis1959, I can relate to your balance issues along with not like hot weather much although it's better than my normal winter weather. I have degenerative disc condition along with old age, arthritis and neuropathy which I'm sure play a part in my balance issues. It might be a great question to ask your doctor but I think it might also be better to ask what can be done to help with the balance problem and heat sensitivity you may feel. Here's some information I found that sort of sums up what I think might help answer your question.

Are you able to talk with your doctor to see if they may have some suggestions?
