I just joined the forum, did a search for alcoholic neuropathy which brought me to your post. I've been a heavy drinker for 10 years. Last year, I began having balance/gait issues. Sometimes, just standing, causes my legs to shake.
Finally I saw a neurologist who diagnosed me with ataxia. MRI was fine. I don't have the pain, tingling, numbness that so many of you describe. My question is this; is ataxia usually a symptom of neuropathy? Seems like what I'm experiencing is a little different.
I do have a Vit D defiency, so started supplements, and have stopped drinking. Thank you all for being here. I hope I can recover from the damage I've done.
