Poor balance your No. 1 issue? Don't miss this FPN webinar!

Posted by Ray Kemble @ray666, Oct 22 12:21pm

Hello!

My PN is chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy. I have no pain, but tons of balance issues. This morning, I was on hand for the live broadcast of the latest Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy webinar, "Regain your balance: Therapy and exercise for neuropathy patients." It was by far the most informative webinar for a fellow like me, with my particular brand of PN. The webinar was recorded and will be available on the FPN website (foundationforpn.org) in a few days, under News & Events: Past Webinars. If poor balance is your No. 1 issue, I encourage you to watch––with pen & pad at the ready!––this exceptional webinar.

Cheers!

Let me of what happened by falling down on my back. Kills my balance when I fell-down in my guarage.

I can’t drive (sp?) anymore, we parked j side our garage. Opened that door and hit my rear-ends on that door. Over the next 2-4 mths ended of cutting my grass; no more walking for my dog that after noon; pain was killing me; and on… that day in 2021.

That hits my balance - it’s still here. Thankfully, a year ago, my doctor has fixed my lower back and the pain is gone, but that lousy, bad, uggg, crappy balance is there. Acirding to my doctor - who fixed my back - says that could yakes2-3 years in my lower foot balance.

Thx,
Greg D. @greg1956

Hi, Greg

That's what I've been advised: Don't expect my balance to improve overnight; it's going to take months, more likely years –– but only if I keep up with my exercises and keep moving. I'm trying, but oh, there are days I just want stay on the couch! 🙂

Best wishes,
Ray
