For sure balance is an issue with PN. I don’t care what shoes you buy, nothing works. Your feet don’t talk to your brain and you walk like you drank a bottle of Scotch. I’m fortunate that my PN is painless. I just have numbness and tingling going on. I don’t waste my time going to Doctors anymore as there’s nothing they can do about PN. Its here to stay.

Hi jet jockey, I agree that PN is here to stay, however there are things you can do for yourself that help the progress to stay at a monimal. Shoes to me are important, high arches and supportive shoes are a must. Also exercise is the key to keeping PN from excelerating at a fast pace. I have had PN for 8 yrs and been dealing with the lack of balance for over 2 yrs. I do exercise and do balance exercises and swim everyday in summer. I like to think all of these things combined have helped. Gotta push hard to keep moving and keep this awful disease at bay. Best Wishes to all.......Are you a pilot? I was a flight attendant for 40 yrs.....do not like stepping foot on airplanes anymore, I do believe that flying is safest mode of transportation.
