I have fibromyalgia and what they're calling cerebellar ataxia, which means my balance is terrible and I have had some bad falls so now I use a cane outside the house. I don't know if these are really 2 separate problems or if the balance stuff is from the fibro.
I imagine that if you see a doctor about the falls they are just going to say you're on too much norco. You could try a cane-it gives me a better chance of catching myself and not actually falling. The biggest hassle is not having that hand free to carry things.

Thank you for you response. The doctors decided my narco had to go up. I am never below a 7.5 and most of the time 8 to 10. They think that level of pain may be reducing my level of clarity and ability to process things. After I hit 9 my brain is just in a fog and I get dizzy. It is too busy processing pain to do anything else.
I could of done it on my own but I don't like to play with opiates.
I have injured both hands so for the time being weight on my hands is not an option but that is a great idea and when my hands heal I hope I can use a cane. Thanks for telling me about the cerebellar ataxia. I will do some research on that.
Takes a ton of patience.
