My husband, age 71, is dealing with balance issues and was given the diagnosis of " "Distal Sensory Axonal Polyneuropathy" due to heavy drinking. He also had low iron 15 (45-180) and red blood cell count 3.92 (4.14 - 5.80). he went to the hematologist and had several tests done, mostly to rule out cancer. He really didn't get any new info on why he was falling or anemic. I should add that he also had very high inflammatory markers at this time. He was scared and didn't want to fall. So he stopped drinking, not even a beer, eats a healthy low carb. diet and goes to the gym just about everyday. The result, inflammation & anemia are within the normal range and he hasn't fallen. Balance is much better but he still does exercises that the physical therapist gave him. I don't know if any of this helps you but it's worth a shot...good luck !
