Hello…I’m curious if you had any further vestibular testing done and if you found anything out. I have had neuropathy since 2017…but have had motion related issues for nearly 40 yrs. I think it’s common for some to be unsteady after long bouts of travel. I actually get it now simply from walking….I only drive shorter distances as the farther I go the worse my equilibrium gets. It’s not very pleasant. Best wishes to you.

Hi Steve -
I actually get vestibular testing soon (scheduling took months). My motion issue began about 2 years before my PN, as soon as I disembarked from a cruise ship; makes you wonder.

At someone’s recommendation here, I tried a simple OTC (less drowsy) Dramine before my last 2 trips ,one by air, the other 6 hour auto; I’m very pleased to say it worked for me! I still need a couple more data points but I’m optimistic it’s a workable solution. Much better than a very awful debilitating drug my doctor suggests I take. I am already handicapped so really need to avoid drugs that further impair.
