Can neuropathy in my feet cause balance problems?

Balance is one of the issues associated with neuropathy. There are days when I almost think I should be wearing a helmet. If it weren’t for the walls in my home, I’d be on the floor all the time.
What’s the fix? There is no fix, but I think the intensity of the balance issue can be lessened somewhat. I try to get plenty of sleep, of which, I don’t. I make sure I wear my glasses. A good, stable pair of shoes is important.
Try your best to be positive regarding this issue. I try my best to laugh after having a near catastrophe. ‘Whoa, dude, you almost cracked your skull on that one!’

@luffing - I went to physical therapy for improved balance and was given exercises which did help, and I continue to do several at home a few days a week. PT suggested that a cane would help to prevent falls. They were right, I use it at times. I have both sensory and motor PN.
