Hello Angela,
I too have been recently diagnosed. I have the tingling and burning in the hands and feet. I don't really have the slipping you describe but if I close my eyes, I lose my balance. It has something to do with somata sensory function. (I won't pretend to say I understand it.) Maybe this is what you have. The nerve conduction test will tell you. Best wishes.
