When I try to use a stationary bike or a treadmill or elliptical, in 2 minutes my legs are getting numb and it it affects my balance. For this reason I am not able to have even a normal stress test EKG.
I was diagnosed first with Lumbar stenosis about 10 years ago and afterwards with Type II Diabetes.
To add to neuropathy my 15 years Meniere's disease causes sporadic dizziness episodes.
I fell several times, just based on balance problems and neuropathy caused weakness.
Went trough multiple tests with Neurogists, ENT, cariologists, endocrinologists. Tests helped to identify the problems, but have not helped to make my life easier.
Currently I rely on Physical Therapy, exercises and being very cautious walking . Up and down the curb, stairs, bending, streching are way beyond my limits.
I deeply appreciate you sharing your ways in fighting periferal neuropathy and balance problems.

Is your ENT cleaning wax out of your ears? I remember reading to hydrate w/electrolytes and lie on the edge of your bed, head to one side for 3 minutes, then reverse. Balance head in between. Try u tube exercises for this. LSVT
