I have neuropathy thought to be related to Uloric, a medication for Gout. The Gout rarely flares about once a year. PNP is of 20 year's duration and progressed as predicted, that is first feet and then lower legs then hands. the progress was slow but inevitable. I coped without medicines. First take a never-say-die stance. The best treatment is exercise. I am a lifetime exerciser both running and lifting weights. The gym is safer, with controlled weight machines. I can still run on the treadmill because of the rails. I still walk without aids but being alert because of balance problems. Normal balance classes generally are not effective because we are not normal. Only a person with PNP is likely to be successful at addressing our balance problem. I am 91 years old and advise Persistence and attitude.
