How long ago were you diagnosed? What testing and treatments did you get by your neurologist? Are you on any medications or supplements now?
Have you had a MRI of your brain and cervical spine? Any compression of your spinal cord/nerve roots and nerves can can affect your balance and walking, etc. You may also benefit from seeing an orthopedic spine specialist to review imaging and symptoms.

@dlydailyhope I was diagnosed 25 years ago by sticking needles in my legs & applying low smo currents. Dr said I my neuropathy would get worse as I aged. I take no prescription drug for any health issue. I looked on the internet 3 year ago. Found knock of the sugar, keep the weight off & lots of exercise.
Exercise & leg strengthening helps my balance a lot. You can spend a lot of money crap sold on the internet. Save your money, nothing is going to cure your neuropathy @ this time. Any time you see a add with some famous person advertising a treatment. Check it out.

I do have peripheral neuropathy and I have a balance problem. Working with a chiropractor for the first time and my x-ray show that I have scoliosis in my spine, which is causing me to have a bad balance along with my feet and legs always aching. I tried cheer yoga, and I developed too much pain in my legs. I guess I was really pushing it. I started using a cane when I take a walk and that has helped my balance. As others have said, staying active is the most important thing. At this point, I’m trying to find the right shoe for my issues
