How do you manage neuropathy and loss of balance and walking ability?

Does anyone feel very fatigued and weak from SFPN? When I exert inside or outside in my flower garden I’m thoroughly exhausted after 15 min! No chest pain, but need to sit down and recover for about 15-20 min.

@jchet my neurologist says that this may be one of the symptoms.
@jchet I’m the same way. I’m 75 and have had this neuropathy for 4 years. I’ve always been an active gardener and kept my home spotless. I could clean my whole house in a day. I continued to be frustrated by not being able to do it after being diagnosed because I kept thinking I could still do it but after 15 minutes I had to sit and I just gave up. I have finally accepted this and now I just break every thing down into 15 on and sit 10 minutes and go another 15 minutes and repeat this routine all day. Now I get things done. I just had to accept that this is the way it’s going to be. It took a couple of years to accept this and my house got so filthy that I couldn’t take it so I finally decided I could go 15 in and 10 off continuously and finally getting things done. It’s frustrating but works for me. I just had to accept it. Good luck to you. 💕

@jchet PN is exhausting and I feel the same. According to Mayo, I have both small and large fiber PN. Balance getting worse over time and that alone can be tiring.
