Is loss of balance your primary complaint with neuropathy?

Unfortunately I can relate to closing my eyes in the shower. I have often fallen out of the shower and out of the shower chair whenever I close my eyes. I recently fell out and grabbed the towel rack and ripped it off the wall. I suppose it was a reflex action. The shower door hasn't shattered yet, but I suppose it's only a matter of time.
I don't usually fall while walking outside but I weave all over the place.
Take care in the shower @bajjerfan

@jakedduck1 On Amazon, I purchased several of these suction cup grab bars, about 10 inches long. Not sure if this has been mentioned before. They recently had a sale 2 for $20 and they work out well. I put several in the shower and each time, before I get in, I pull on them to make sure they did not become loose. I can't close my eyes in any safe fashion without losing my balance in or out of the shower. I have extras so when traveling, they go with me. Ed
