@ray666 Ray, I think that PN can impact confidence especially in cases where it effects balance. Personally, my balance is not what it was due to sensory motor PN. After a few bangs on the floor, I now use a cane, and my confidence has increased so each person needs to find what is needed to maintain confidence. Yet, I do play safe and well aware of my surroundings like stay away from crowded stores during busy hours. I feel the longer you can be active yet remain safe, it will help with confidence.
