@carol1024 Hello. I have a 50% balance loss in both ears. 25 years ago I went to balance therapy to retrain myself as to how to stand up and walk straight. It works. I still rely on those techniques today. Most physical therapist are trained in this regiment. They are often clinics just for this problem
One other very important issue is your core strength. As a senior with a balance issue and SPN staying strong is key to preventing falls. Your body has to be able to quickly ‘right’ you as you topple or trip. Just standing in place and lifting your knees high while looking straight ahead. Bonus point if you can do this NOT touching anything for balance. As a precaution always have a chair or maybe a kitchen counter to hold or touch.
I think most insurance will pay for this type of PT
Stay balanced in life😄

@debbieod if I can get the neuropathy somewhat controlled that will fix a lot. The last 3 toes on each foot have neuropathy in them. The right is worse than the left. My falls have been the result of hitting my right toe on something and because of the numbness the relay to the brain isn't as fast as it should be. Lol
My balance issues are not from an inner ear problem. Its from neuropathy as a result of the chemotherapy. After I finish this 2nd session I hope it's enough that I can continue with maintenance immunotherapy and the neuropathy slowly gets better.
