Hi Nancy, I am sorry that you having this problem. I don't know if it will help but I'll share my story. In March my husband who is 71 got out of bed and fell. he had no warning. He just said that he felt like he had "Jello Legs". We went to the ER. I thought he had a stroke. He spent 3 days in the hospital and was released without a diagnosis. He seemed to be Ok after that but then one morning in June he couldn't move his legs to get out of bed. So back to the hospital. After extensive testing he was discharged with a Parkinson's diagnosis. We went to another neurologist and was given a new diagnosis, C.I.D.P. and no Parkinson's. We moved on to neurologist #3, who said he didn't know what my husband had. In the meantime my husband had fallen again. So we go to neurologist #4 who said it is definitely not C.I.D.P but a polyneuropathy caused by my husband's heavy drinking. That was 2 months ago and my husband has stopped drinking, he is eating right and going to the gym and so far hasn't fallen. We may never really have a definite answer. I say this because he didn't have any withdrawal symptoms plus his blood work & liver are all normal. Things that you would think would be affected by heavy drinking. I don't know if my story was of any use but I offer it in the event that it might give you some small insight into your situation...good luck.
