@arcuri24 thank you.

My balance issues, and more are caused by a neurological disorder. Functional Neurological Disorder or FND. My brain and body are not getting their signals straight.
My life has made a wrong turn. I wish it wasn’t so, but here I am learning new things everyday, new hobbies etc. God is leading me through this journey for a reason.

I am wondering what new things you are learning and what hobbies you have found. I believe our brains have lots to do with how we process pain. My neuropathy was and is for the most part, not so challenging. But the shin shave biopsy must have damaged some tiny nerves and my leg still does not feel the same 6 months later. I want to believe my neurologist who says my prognosis for healing is "good." Still, I am impatient and want to heal sooner rather than later. The new things I am learning include being more body aware and to be more mindful of how environment and foods affect me. I am trying not to dwell on what was my "wrong turn". Have doctors given you a way of practicing balance? It is important. Wishing you well.
