@njed I've good walking days and not-so-good walking days, and what I find most mysterious of all, only PARTS of any given day are when my balance is extra-poor. I may be in denial about how our disease progresses, but I have consoled myself saying, "Oh, it's just this relentess heat!" And it may be, I know I'm a little extra-leg weary come the end of one of those mysterious "mixed" balance days. –Ray (@ray666)

@ray666 After 11 years of this damn thing, I have come to the conclusion that PN can be exhausting. Those in pain are constantly fighting the effects of that and those without pain are fighting the dilemma of how to stay upright on two feet with numbness and poor balance. I have good times of the day as well, but I find that at the end of the day, my balance is worse. I suppose we start out the day with so much energy, and the key is to spread out the energy throughout the day, so we make it through the day maintaining the best balance we can. There are so many mysteries about PN we'll never know.
