Is loss of balance your primary complaint with neuropathy?

@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

Ed. I have BIG problem with Balance. Also my Hands are Very Stiff. I have CIPN. ALSO I travel with those sticky handle. They work great. You just need test them on all different surfaces. Damn I just wish my Neuropathy would go away !! It’s been at least 2 1/2 years since I completed my Chemo.
@njed I had stick on shower bars and they are DANGERIOUS never ever trust them. I installed KOLLER hand bars bolted to the shower walls now!!!

@njed I'm glad you mentioned the suction grab bars. When I retiled our tub surround back in 2019, i was hesitant to try and install a grab bar into the studs and then put tile around them. I started looking online and found those suction grab bars. I ordered two. They go on easily and provide a good, stable bar to hold on to. I only had to reposition them once in three years
