My balance has never been good, I have hereditary neuropathy, but it took a nosedive when I was on Tricor for high triglycerides. Statins of any kind can really fast track deterioration. My balance improved when I stopped taking them, but I have a progressive type and it gets worse as time goes on.

Most of us have balance problems, I walk with a hiking pole, two if in the woods or on uneven ground. I also have a lot of trouble walking and have begun using a wheelchair occasionally for museums and such, but I have a lot of muscle atrophy which can but does not always accompany neuropathy.

Sorry if we seem to be ignoring you, sometimes a question is so obvious we assume someone else will answer and if no one does it gets lost.
