AngieP - I too see a podiatrist every 9 - 10 weeks, my Medicare plan pays for the visit, and I have my feet examined as well due to my numbness, don't want to take chances. Podiatrist, my primary doc along with 5 other neuro docs all have given me the same answer, no cure for numbness due to PN and yes, bad balance is part of the picture. I do take many of the supplements that Mentor John Bishop has brought to surface which I feel help. One neuro doc in 2005 said to me "keep moving" and I took that as the best advice I ever got. Trust me, it is a struggle at minimum, but I feel necessary. I don't suggest this as somebody on the outside looking in without dealing with PN. For me, I have determined to keep a positive frame of mind and not fight this disease rather how to live with it. I am now in PT for balance therapy. Slight help so far with balance.
