How can a person be diagnosed with Neuropathy if they are not Diabetic

I do not have diabetes. I do have neuropathy. I do have balance issues but not quite like yours. It is hard adjusting your life to the seriousness of this awful malady.
I believe mine started with taking several rounds of Cipro and round od leviquine
I do not have the same symptoms as you. You might try posting again and asking the question about your balance in the question. Also if you search in this forum I believe you will find others that describe the same symptoms you have.
Read read read. You might find something that helps and some encouragement. This is a good forum.

I have the same, no diabetes but neuropathy that started @5 yrs. ago. I have been going to pt since, although my pt closed so I’m trying to do it on my own. In the beginning I was able to walk on my own but a couple of yrs in needed a cane. I am now dependent on a walker. This year my balance went making everything different. It has gotten bad. I have given up driving, hardly being able to walk very far which just started this week. Last night I fell AGAIN just walking to the bathroom. I hardly slept thinking everything I have given up and worried for the future. My son and his wife have the cutest 2 yr old ever, something I’ve waited very long for. Very saddened now that it’s here I can hardly do anything with him. This past week has been a challenge to keep my spirits up. Trying hard to work harder and improve but I’m finding my left foot is turning in and that leg is hard to function. I have much to be thankful for and need to get my head straight…just scared for what’s ahead.

@debbieod I also have nueropathy w/o diabetes. It is very possible to get it from chemical exposure as well as from other diseases. A Neurologist got mine figured out and the med I am on helps a lot. Again, find a good neurologist.
