So I guess that my diagnosis is most likely central vestibular disorder or problem in the brain balance system. I've already had a MRI. So I, for the life of me, am having a hard time understanding what the etiology could be. This is so frustrating!

That seems to mirror my situation. I contacted my Neurologist that I used a few years back for my PN. She is director of the Neurology/Neuropathy Dept. at Kansas Univ. Med Center. She suggested that my balance-issues and dizziness might not be totally related to my PN. She suggested that I obtain a referral for an MRA which I am scheduled to have in 4 days. This will analyze the arteries, unlike my MRI which I had.
Good luck. I'm still enduring the walk "on a suspension bridge" every single day.
