I was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy about 15 years ago. The neurologist told me that "it probably won't kill you, come back and see me in about 20 years." It was loss of balance and a sensation of having socks on when I was bare footed that sent me to my GP. The GP gave me a crude test on my legs and feet with pin pricks, diagnosed peripheral neuropathy (which IO had already done with the help of Google) and gave me the referral to the neurologist.
Since engaging with researchers and physiologists over the last 4 years or so, I am finally convinced that DAILY balance exercises and leg strengthening exercises are a MUST. I heartedly recommend Doug Weiss on Youtube, but I add neck and eye exercises so that my peripheral vision is improved. I am lucky that I rarely have pain, I take one magnesium supplement 1000 mu daily to reduce night cramping in the legs.
