I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but as my diagnosis was relatively recent (last August), I'm eager to know what signs and symptoms I must watch for. I'm 78. I was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy (not much more known now than that). My only symptom is poor balance, which may be getting worse but at such an incremental and near-invisible rate that I can't be sure. I have no pain, none at least that I can link to my PN. Often, after an exercise session (stationary bike cycling, stretching, balance work, etc.), my legs may feel weak-ish (my knees, in particular), but the feeling, having been a distance runner most of my life, is a familiar one; I can't honestly say it's because of my PN. What should I be watching out for? If my PN is progressive (and I can't be sure of that, not yet), how fast should I expect it to progress? I meet with my neurologist next in early August, and I'd like to give him a good and specific rundown of any progression I may be experiencing. Hearing from others will be invaluable.
