you ruled out any dental issues? Just a thought...and one that could put your mind at ease in that one quarter.

You have learned correctly about your nerves sending you garbled signals to your brain about where your feet are in time and space, etc. But w/some PT and exercises specially designed to help you 'sort of re-program' what's working to help compensate...well, you'd be surprised. I know it's helped me a HEAP! And I'm not often even near being in a heap either. Not falling and heaping are good things!

As for the dizziness.. I don't know about that...PN can rarely affect vision, but I'm not recalling much about dizziness as a factor. Do you have blood pressure, hearing or migraine issues on top of the PN? I only ask, as I've had intermittent vision stuff that was checked out thru the neuro-opthomologist route and the good doc came up w/nothing....Had the heart, full-vision workups, vascular stuff [holter monitor and some sort of scope into the heart to check for abnormalities].. There were lots of tests tho that got checked off the lists good neuros SHOULD check off. And while the vision problem abated, it's not totally disappeared-I believe now it's stress related.

I only HEAP [as in fall down in one] about once a year...I somehow seem to make them very good ones tho - each time to the ER then an overnite stay in the hospital for observation [during which they do nothing]. More than enuf thank you.

Being in the UK I'm not sure how you go thru all the processes. Here I've the ability to go to specialists w/my insurance plan...therefore I can go to an EAR doc if it mite be an inner-ear problem, or whatever specialists [cardiac, vascular, etc.] for other things who are approved by my plan. The co-pays are what I pay and sometimes some more. I Hope, really hope that you find a doc or docs who are helpful, but more important in my book are the CURIOUS ones! Sometimes you can get lucky.

Perfectly toasty toes to all! - j
