shippern, I hate to break it to you but you may be stuck with it for life. All of my blood tests and special testing is normal aside from the EMN/ENG and sural nerve biopsy. Yes, they removed one of my nerves to test. I have damage in my arms and hands and legs all of the way down. I take Lyrica and some pain medication.
Exercise will help with your balance and with strength in your legs. I used to referee soccer and do mixed martial arts but that is all gone now so I understand your feelings about being hindered.
The best I can offer you is that there are others in the same situation who understand and are there to talk to.
I am 50 and have had neuropathy for about six years now.
