How do you manage neuropathy and loss of balance and walking ability?

Nerve Bliss '
I want to try this suppliment. Listened to the whole thing. New rearch found cause of neuropathy different from what has been thought. Endosed by highly respected universities & presented by a neuro doctor, who formerly had neuropathy. Sounds reasonable.
Anyone try it?

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.

Neuropathy has so many causes so I don’t believe anyone can honestly make claims that they identified the cause.

You mentioned doctors etc who back up their claim.
Please investigate whether these professionals have any connection to the manufacturer. Are they making a profit on the sales?
That happens more times than not.

Please don’t waste your money. There is no cure for neuropathy.

I’ve had it for 10 years. The cause is an autoimmune disease called Cutaneous Polyarteritis Nodosa.
It’s incurable too.

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.

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

Mine was also diagnosed idiopathic, I do not have diabetes.
The other thing they found in me is my B12 levels were deficient. This can cause neuropathy symptoms as well. If you are vegan it's easier to deplete your levels and levels go down as you age. I am neither so that diagnosis is also idiopathic. But I do have extensive gut problems which I assume stems from.
I take once a month B12 injection now. I'm still on gabapentin for my PN though.

ALA is in a supplement, “ Nerve Bliss” I just bought and not sure if I made the right decision. Has anyone heard of it? In addition it has B1, B12, B9, CA poppy, zinc and D3. Basic claim that enzyme MMP13 is the culprit eroding nerve’s myelin sheath and is inhibited by the B s that get delivered in ice cold water. Desperation can lead to “ why not try” decisions before checking with communities like this one.

@SusanEllen66 - I have looked up your theory that idiopathic neuropathy is caused by Cutaneous Polyarteritis Nodosa (CPN) and it seems unlikely. Reading about the base condition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyarteritis_nodosa it says that this disease is fatal within 5 years and luckily that does not apply to people on this forum! Please elaborate on where you read that there is a Cutaneous (skin) version of this disease. Give us a link please.
