I am sorry you have so much on your plate. It is very tough. Mine is probably pretty minor compared to what you are dealing with, but I do have a fairly significant peripheral neuropathy. It causes me to stumble and lose my balance and occasionally fall. It's hard for me to tell where my feet are in space. I have to be careful in the shower and when changing directions, otherwise, I can def fall. Being clipped into my pedals on the bike is sometimes interesting at stop lights. Interestingly, I had to stop my Abilify for an unrelated reason. My neuropathy symptoms have gotten a whole lot better. It's weird. I had all this testing done and I def do have a peripheral neuropathy. Somehow, though, the Abilify was making it worse. Is there some relationship between Abilify, bipolar type 1, and the nerves in my legs? I have no idea. But I am sure glad I stopped that Abilify.
